Alexander Roberts, Ásrún Magnúsdóttir „Teenage Songbook of Love and Sex"27.08 + 28.08 / 19:00 @ Eesti Noorsooteater
(eng below)
Popmuusika ning päriselulised lood noorusest, seksist ning soost.
Töötades teismelistega Reykjavikist, Islandilt, laulab „Teenage Choir of Love and Sex” lugusid, mille nad on ise kirjutanud, tuginedes enda romantilistele ja seksuaalsetele kogemustele. Muusikalises lavastuses astuvad rambivalgusesse noored ise, et rääkida armastusest ja seksuaalsusest. Igal korral liituvad Islandi kooriga kohalikud noored, et koos nendega lugusid laulda ja kirjutada. Selles meloodilises oodis suureks kasvamisele on armastus ja seksuaalsus esindatud kõigis vormides ning värvides.
Nad laulavad iseendale ning üksteisele. Nad laulavad armastusele, uudishimule ning südamevalule. Nad laulavad iga süütu, iga litsaka ja iga januse bitchi eest – et nad ei peaks end enam kunagi üksi tundma.
Teismelised ja muusika on üksteise jaoks loodud. Muusika, mida nooruses kuulame, ning lood, mida see räägib, kujundavad, kuidas iseend ning ümbritsevat maailma mõistame, eraldades õige valest. Kuid mis siis, kui kõik heteronormatiivsed poplood räägiksid hoopis millestki muust? Põhinedes noorte lugudel otsib „Teenage Choir of Love and Sex” uusi viise armastusest, soost ja seksist rääkimiseks.

Ásrún on koreograaf, kellel on hulgaliselt kogemusi erineva taustaga inimestega töötamisel – luues töid ning andes töötubasid nii professionaalidele kui ka amatööridele.
Alexanderi töö kunstnikuna seisneb selles, et anda lava teistele, loomaks tingimusi, et nende hääled oleksid kuulda. Tema praegune töö kuraatorina sisaldab Rosendali Rahvusvahelise Teatri (ametlikult Avant Garden) kunstilist juhtimist Trondheimis, Norras. Alexander kaasjuhtis Reykjavíki Tantsufestivali (2013-2020) koos kuraator Ásgerður Gunnarsdóttiri ja Reykjavíki teismelistega (projekt, mis sai alguse 2014. aastal, keskendudes kuraatoritöö jagamisele linnas elavate noortega).

Pop music and true stories about youth, sex and gender.
Working with teenagers from Reykjavik, Iceland, the Teenage Choir of Love and Sex sing songs they have written themselves based on their own romantic and sexual experiences. In this musical show, the young people themselves take the floor about love and sexuality. Each time, local peers join the Icelandic choir to write and sing songs with them. In this melodious ode to the coming-of-age love and sexuality are represented in all forms and colours.
They sing for themselves and each other. They sing for love, curiosity and heartbreak. They sing for every virgin, every slut and every thirsty bitch – so they never need to feel alone again.
Teenagers and music are made for each other. The songs we listen to in our youth, and the stories they tell, determine how we come to understand ourselves and the world around us, separating right from wrong. But what if all heteronormative pop songs were about something different? Based on stories told by youths, Teenage Songbook of Love and Sex seeks new ways to talk and think about love, gender, and sex.
