Ligger Ligga is a three-part participatory performance presented within a sculptural installation as part of the 2026 programme Hela Havet Stormar at Konstmuseet i Skövde. At Skogen, Parts 1 and 2 are presented as re-runs following their initial staging in Skövde.The work is an artist-led, non-verbal roleplay combining costume, movement, and large-scale collective drawing. Drawing on personal history and fantasy imagery, Ligger Ligga unfolds through embodied play, in which participants form collective entities through physical interaction with one another and with the objects in the space.
Two large-scale floor drawings emerge during each performance. The paper becomes an extension of the play — a surface where gesture, contact, and movement leave visible marks.
Practical information:
Ligger Ligga is open to both audience members and participants. No prior experience is required. Participation involves significant physical movement and close contact with other bodies, the floor, and art materials. Costumes are provided, and cleaning facilities are available.
Performances at Konstmuseet i Skövde are free of charge.
Performances at Skogen in Gothenburg are ticketed (€10 / 110 SEK), with participation limited to 15 people on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets include a late dinner, refreshments, and sauna access.
