A che­ap hor­se is expensive


Spelling Spectacle is a per­for­man­ce about logic, con­se­quen­ce and pos­si­bi­li­ty by Ingrid Berger Myhre, made and per­for­med in col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with Nicola Gunn and Ida Wigdel.


With ​“if, then” as under­cur­rent, the pie­ce asks what a cohe­rent cho­re­o­grap­hic train of thought can be or look like. What con­di­ti­ons the fol­lo­wing, and how? According to which givens does some­thing make sen­se? And what does it say about the back­drop of our reading?


The tit­le Spelling Spectacle is an alli­te­ra­ti­on in which the words sha­re a two­fold allu­si­on. They both evo­ke a sen­se of magic, in addi­ti­on to their litera­ry sen­se of rea­ding or see­ing: to spell as in deco­ding, or a spell as in a magi­cal for­mu­la. A spec­ta­cle as some­thing to be seen, and spec­ta­cles as some­thing one sees through.
