Alma Söderberg’s ‘New Old’ is a solo performance going back to the origins of her practice – sitting on a chair and thinking through rhythm, voice and movement. A practice of listening to sounds synthesising; forming words with the help of hand and body gestures, creating thoughts, evolving into sounds again, becoming music, becoming dance, becoming thought that once again becomes dance.

‘New Old’ is personal. It is on the verge, if not already way over the edge, to something very private. Meandering between topics such as the fear of peeing oneself, the mouth-like quality of the vulva, the phenomenologically fascinating thing of being two people at once for a while, as well as how musical the word “pussy” is in different languages, and the consequences thereof.

‘New Old’ moves in and out of internal and external spaces, shoots through the roof with vectors of high hissing sounds, landing in melodic phrases and floating just above the heads of its audience.
