May 12–14. SONOTOPER / Sara Lindström Lindhe & Jan Carleklev
SONOTOPER is an interactive choreographed sound performance where the presence of the audience is central. In the work we get to meet ”Sono”, a virtual character who guides us into a peculiar soundscape and which comes into being through the encounter with the audience.
By placing itself between the audience, the image and the sound, Sono creates an interstitial space that plays with and challenges our relationship to technology and surveillance, and between what is present and what is absent.
SONOTOPER is an ongoing exploration on listening and sounding. A curious search for what it is that defines the ”human” in us and the possibilities and limitations of our senses. What, who or where is Sono and what can Sono help us see?
By and with: Sara Lindström Lindhe and Jan Carleklev

JAN CARLEKLEV
uses mainly sound as an artistic material and his background in music and the performing arts often shines through in his work. Carleklev has established an artistic practice where he himself or in participatory processes draws attention to voices that are usually not heard, and events that are not seen. These processes examine power, knowledge and loss in relation to man’s often complex relationship with nature.
Carleklev’s art is based on listening and enabling listening in different ways. As living beings, we need to listen to ourselves, to the world around us, but we also need to be listened to. To create the conditions for this, it is important to meet the audience in a process, and Carleklev believes that this meeting is part of the artwork. Here, nothing is finished and there is no requirement to understand, there is only open, curious exploration and experimentation together. This is why Carleklev creates meeting places such as insect choirs, DIY orchestras, public sound laboratories and other situations where the audience is invited to participate in the creation of an artwork.
SARA LINDSTRÖM LINDHE
is a choreographer and artist working in performing arts, contemporary art and film contexts. She creates works through an interdisciplinary practice of video, performance and installations.
In her artistic practice, she works with stories about the body and how it becomes meaningful in different ways, often in interaction with words, images and sounds. In recent years, she has worked almost exclusively with participatory works that are created through various site- or situation-specific processes and that examine subjective interpretations and experiences based on a specific theme or issue.
Sara’s works often activate a charge between bodily presence and social interaction, where boundaries between the private and the public and the individual and the collective are often put to the test.
Sara holds an MFA in choreography from Stockholm University of the Arts and a BA from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in London. Her work has been presented nationally and internationally in traditional performance spaces and in galleries, museums and public spaces. Her work has been produced and presented in collaboration with Yorkshire Dance in Leeds, Dansens Hus in Oslo and Stockholm, Monty Theatre in Belgium, Laban Theatre and The Place in London, Dance4 in Nottingham, Norrtälje Konsthall, Skissernas museum in Lund, Scenkonstmuseet and MDT in Stockholm. Over the years Sara has had residencies at Greenwich Dance in London and SITE in Stockholm. She has produced art films in co-production with SVT that have won national and international awards.
