Solus (Simone Wierød, Denmark 2017)

Direction and choreography Simone Wierød Cinematography and editing Tim Panduro Dancer Anna Stamp Møller Sound recording Troels Damgaard Holm Compositting Sune Daugaard Color grading Jesper Christensen Music Tim Panduro Solus is created from a questioning of striving; the striving to achieve and the striving to create the images and stories about ourselves that we want the world to see. Solus is an experiment on synchronicity and a research on the ideal of being alike. How many personalities hide within one body, one skin, one character? And how can we aim for assimilation, if one can¿t even assimilate with ourselves? Bio Simone Wierød is a Danish choreographer based in Copenhagen. Her work revolves around the question of how we through the language of choreography can address current agendas in society. Her main tool is bodily movement, but other choreographic elements in her works are objects, space and sound.
