​

A poetic journey through CARA’s mental labyrinth, blending choreographic and physical theatre, visual language, and immersive soundscapes into a sensorial experience. COUNTERSENSE confronts us with our own existence and with the fragile thresholds between life and death. The notion of the “stranger,” as well as our relationship to identity, technology, and the Other, is pushed to the point of absurdity: How can one exist in society today while remaining true to oneself?

Synopsis:

​

The story begins on an ordinary day in the life of CARA, secretary of the City of Namdal’s Department of Culture, who spends her day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in her “mobile office,” a desk strapped to her body. But on her way home, an accident occurs… upending the course of her life and plunging her into realities previously unimaginable.

She becomes the spirit of her angels and the body of her demons in an absurd journey through her own personal Hades.

Is this what it means to be dead?

Or perhaps, alive?

A piece that invites the audience to become observers of their own lives, to reconsider social codes and norms, and to envision the possibility of “symbolic” deaths and rebirths within a single existence
