Performance “Shh…”
At Baadteatret

"Shh..." is a sound performance that invites you on an immersive journey through the emotional landscape of stress - explored through poetry, noise, music, field recordings, and dance.

I (e.Trash) experienced a severe stress collapse, leaving me powerless in every part of my life - especially in my creativity. Yet through that process, I discovered a new way to create: By using stress itself as a creative medium.

"Shh..." is the result of close collaborations with people who stood beside me during that time. Through poems written by those closest to me and soundscapes I have composed, the piece explores the deeply personal and universal experiences of doubt, helplessness, grief, loss, insecurity, anger, anxiety, addiction and many other emotions that arise when life breaks down.

At the same time, the performance also reflects on the unexpected beauty that stress can reveal: The forced confrontation with oneself, the opportunity to reexamine life, and the possibility of transforming life’s silence and noise into new strength.

The performance is further brought to life through dance and digital visual art, created especially for the project by dancer Marianna Minasova and visual artist Magnus Odgaard.
