Begynnelser

Begynnelser (Beginnings) was initiated by Trøndelag Teater as a collaboration between De Utvalgte, Carl Frode Tiller, and Motorpsycho.

Tiller was given free rein to write, and the result was a prose text that was almost a novel in scope. The text was the point of departure for a mutual exchange of ideas and impulses that influenced and shaped the material along the way. The performance is a result of a creative process where images, music, and text interact and ends up in something larger than itself.

In the moment of death the human brain activity is at its most intense.

Begynnelser is a death journey backwards in time. During the moment of death Terje relives situations that have somehow steered his path in life. Fragments of everyday life can be seen as a family album with photos that were never developed. It is about man’s constant attempt to break patterns; about falling and rising up again.

How free are we to shape our lives?

The material from Begynnelser has also resulted in an album by Motorpsycho:
