Evighedssuppen

“Evighedssuppen” is a surreal doll-theatre opera universe created by Ellinor Åslund. It unfolds in a bar, where a ceramic puppet modeled after the artist recalls fragmented memories of pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood.

In a dance with malleable ceramics, bodily transformations are translated into visual and musical tableaux oscillating between the poetic and the grotesque. The bar transforms into a shifting stage populated by nurses, fairy-tale figures, bureaucrats, and historical characters, where the intimate is filtered through culture andhistory. The result is a sensuous and political tale about bodies, identity, and belonging.
