Yvonne Rainer, a 90-year-old choreographer from San Francisco, and Audhumbla, the mythical cow from ancient times, are lying in a maternity ward. Yvonne, who has given birth to new dance forms but never a child, and Audhumbla, who created the world’s first god by licking a stone, lie in the same ward, heavily pregnant and about to give birth. But what is it that’s about to be born?
In Förlösa, Bardo Ensemble invites the audience to philosophise and fantasise about birth in an absurd and playful way. When and how did we come into being? Does the soul exist, and if so, what is it?
