In JÖRĐ, fifteen young performers set out in search of ground, under the guidance of Christopher van der Meer and Antonia Keersmaekers, both theatre makers and musicians at DEGASTEN. JÖRĐ is the Icelandic word for “ground.”
Through movement, live music, and an ever-shifting landscape, you are taken into an exploration of what carries us, both externally and within. What is ground, really? Is it soil, heritage, body, breath, memory? A theatrical experience unfolding between the waves of the IJ and the floor of the Muziekgebouw.
This short performance draws inspiration from the practice of composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, known for her award-winning film scores for Joker and the series Chernobyl. She often works from improvisation, allowing compositions to emerge through experimentation and material research, guided by a deep sensitivity to empathy and listening to the stories of others. We carry this open, investigative approach into our own artistic process.
