You aren’t the one interpreting me,
I’ll show you the way to understand me.
I take the responsibility to draw
the image that the world will have of myself.
For centuries, the unicorn has changed its form from a pagan creature to a symbol of the pope, a magical healer and guardian of girls' chastity, until it eventually became a pop icon. The unicorn, a creature without homeland and history, used and abused by humans, deprived of the right to speak.
The performance is part of Oslo International Theatre festival 2022, and is a collaboration between Dansens Hus and Black Box teater.
Seeking Unicorn will be presented at DOGA, Hausmannsgate 16.
