- stage setting for the performance ELYSIUM.
A coherent installation shaped as a holy cathedral with archetypical characters connecting
to our concept of the original religious dimension of man, understood as the encounter
between male and female, life and death, nature and culture. The stage was set up in a
500-m2 big darkened hall in Galschiøt's workshop. The arrangement consisted of the cocoon
shields, gas torches, totem like copper sculptures, water fountains, archetypical copper
sculptures, 24 tons of sand, 20 tons of stones, cloth, light effects etc. - in addition
paintings of the surrealist Bjoern Haugaard. The performance included more than 50
dancers, actors and musicians. The project was supported among others by the Cultural
Foundation in 1995.
Documentation: two professional video programs (TV2). Book with photos and an interview.
