ON THE OTHER SIDE

SHORT EXPERIMENTAL FILM / DANCE FILM | 15 min

A seemingly regular day at work takes a different turn when quiet musings of an alternate reality begin to blur the edges of time and space.

ON THE OTHER SIDE is an extension of the site-specific performance BAKom, created for Parken kulturhus in Ålesund, Norway (2023).
