Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Deepen the mystery. With Linda Forsell
Q: What do you hope Konträr becomes for artists and audiences in the coming years?
She envisions Konträr as a space for artists to take risks, be surprised, and for audiences to encounter high-quality, challenging, and relevant performances that push boundaries.
Deepen the mystery. With Linda Forsell
Q: What themes recur in your work, and how do you approach the relationship between darkness and play?
She discusses using sadness, death, and sickness as starting points, meeting dark material with play as a survival method, and inviting others into the darkness to explore collective subconscious material.
Deepen the mystery. With Linda Forsell
Q: First of all, how would you describe yourself in relation to your practice at this stage of your career?
Linda describes herself as someone in the process of finding her spirit, balancing directing, performing, and curating, and actively pursuing spaces for personal creative exploration.
Take the world in and put it out. With Marie Karlberg
Q: How did the collaborative process with your performers influence the development of the characters and the script?
We developed the piece together; I contributed ideas while the performers helped shape the characters, leading to a unified on-stage presence and a sense of collective authorship.
Take the world in and put it out. With Marie Karlberg
Q: Where did the core concept for I'm Just a Symptom of a Moral Decay originate from?
It grew from a sentence in a post-punk song and was shaped by readings like Samuel Delany's Hog and Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party, driving a focus on surreal, toxic codependency and social hierarchies.
