INTERVALL by Pinquins and post-show talk
Performance and talk | Sequel shown at Ultima 2026
Objects become instruments as threads are pulled from the outside
Through precise shifts between human and object, small actions are set in motion. The performers influence a space they do not enter, yet still control everything that unfolds within it. Things fall, are pulled, vibrate, and respond. Distance collapses into closeness, and weight suddenly feels weightless. Mechanical actions take on their own choreography.
INTERVALL — a scenic composition by Pinquins in collaboration with scenographer and object artist Kjersti Alm Eriksen — sits somewhere between contemporary music, object theatre, sound sculpture, and performance.
Pinquins consists of Jennifer Torrence, Ane Marthe Sørlien Holen, and Sigrun Rogstad Gomnæs. The percussion trio moves fluidly between the roles of musician, composer, and object manipulator.
Post-show talk with Black Box
As part of the Go Figure! festival, Ultima invites audiences to a conversation with Pinquins and Alm Eriksen, led by Ultima’s director Heloisa Amaral and Black Box Theatre’s artistic director Jørgen Knudsen.
The conversation explores the ideas behind the work, the collaboration between Pinquins and Alm Eriksen, and how INTERVALL has developed through a collective, cross-disciplinary process. It also looks at how Pinquins challenge the boundaries between concert and theatre, and how timing, movement, precision, and scenography become active elements of the musical composition.
Sequel at Ultima 2026
The collaboration between Pinquins and Alm Eriksen continues at the Ultima Festival and Black Box Theatre in September, where the trio presents Touch, a new work following on from INTERVALL.
