DESCRIPTION OF THE PERFORMANCE

A chance meeting in a chaotic world of constant change. A couple unites in an attempt to measure, map out and define each other. Measuring has become an integral part of our existence. Do we still measure to improve our lives, or have the roles changed - do we now live to measure more effectively?

“Full Measures” is a trio for a puppet artist, a dancer and measuring sticks. It is a visual and proportionally ambitious account on mankind’s obsession with measuring. Using unconventional techniques, we expand the boundaries and possibilities of object theatre and physical theatre.

FRAGMENTS OF REVIEWS

“The folding rule is unmistakable in its millimetre precision, so it is brilliant to use it as the agent in this form of object theatre.”

(Ann-Christine Snickars, “Åbo Underrättelser”)

“Ishmael Falke and Sandrina Lindgren discover the movement qualities of the folding rules with fine distinction (…) their characters do with this object just about everything possible.”

(Jouko Grönholm, “Turun Sanomat”)

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Livsmedlet duo - is a creative collaboration that is administered by Grus Grus Theater. It is a duo that consists of the puppeteer and director Ishmael Falke, and the choreographer and dancer Sandrina Lindgren. Livsmedlet exists with the ambition to create relevant and innovative visual theatre works, that puts body and material in focus and that challenges the audience's perspective of physical surroundings and everyday life. Their work utilises a mix of contemporary puppetry, contemporary dance and choreography as well as object theatre and physical theatre. Most productions by Livsmedlet are made with the purpose of international touring, thus they are designed to be light to travel with, and they make little or no use of dialogue. The duo is also offering workshops and community based projects, where they share their creative methods with others. Livsmedlet have made shows like: “TraFika” (2011) and “Dead Ends” (2013) in which they play with the city’s traffic symbols, “Invisible Lands” (2015) that explore empathic approaches to refugee-travels and “Full Measures” (2019) that take on society’s obsession for measuring. Their performances have toured extensively over the world, amongst other countries to: Canada, England, Holland, Belgium, Norway, France, Germany, Russia, Cuba, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Estonia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic and USA.
