gravity and graves is a polyphonic solo written by Ruby Nilsson. The work underlines the stage and the feminine body as wastelands of transience and finitude, as sites where performance seem to be embedded everywhere; where performance, even when not-performing, is a must. gravity and graves plays on the analogy of expectations being put on both theatre as a specific site of spectacle, and the female body, as yet another site of spectacle – the expectation of acting, of poses, of performance.
Made together with actress Johanna Malm and Christoffer Lloyd.
Co-produced by Inkonst
gravity and graves has been shown at Inkonst, Malmö and Folkteatern,Gothenburg
