My piece is based on the following text:
“Silence. Calmness. At the same time, right now the brain processes 600 million bits of visual information. A healthy human brain has about 200 billion neurons. A single neuron can send 1,000 nerve impulses every second, meaning 60,000 per minute.  Breathing in and out. An adult takes around 12-20 breaths every minute.
Water has an amazing way of dealing with obstacles. Like in our veins, water chooses paths after obstacles that it encounters. It flows around, under, and through obstacles. Water is patient and flexible.
It has a state of readiness to move when circumstances change. It's tempting to see obstacles “in the way” and have a negative reaction. A fallen tree, a flooded river, a slippery staircase, a too dry field. Yet, what can we learn from obstacles? And can we deal with obstacles like water does?
Imagine you’re standing up. Ready. To take a step in time.”

Ariadne of Crete is a one-woman puppet show about love, labyrinths and lost identities. It’s mixing the antique myth of Ariadne with Dionysos - the god of theatre and pleasure, Lapland with palace of Knossos, from being in love with a bull with being an underdog. On stage we see one puppeteer, a lot of strings and puppets made of wool. Some great manipulation and not so great ventriloquism, trying to get its creator out of her corona-tumb and the spectators to laugh and cry.

Med början vid Kultivera tar bildläraren Lars-Erik Strand med er på en vandring genom de centrala delarna av Tranås och stannar upp vid viktiga offentliga konstverk. Äldre och moderna, lokala och internationellt verksamma konstnärer.
 

Aleisa Ribalta Guzman är en poet som har sitt ursprung i Kuba men bor i Helsingborg. Hon berättar om sitt liv, sina projekt och om  sitt världsomspännande arbete.

“My piece is about being lost in what you think you want. It's kind of a personal process that I've been going through since I left home and I'm still trying to figure it out. The feeling of doing things that you believe in but realising maybe they're not what you actually want or that it's not going in the right direction”

Welcome into our yellow universe! Yellow - We’re Halfway There is a nuanced and playful reflection on young adult life and its ups and downs. Contrasting interpretations of the color’s spectrum, such as happiness and danger, are put into motion on stage. In our yellow universe, we let the body translate, be inspired and speak for all shades of the color, as a metaphor for life. Humanity, vulnerability and friendship constitutes the core of the piece while using the color yellow as a red thread.
