Symphony of Solitude – S.O.S.
MØR Collective

Symphony Of Solitude- S.O.S. is a surreal and playful universe full of humor and empathy, sound and images, that touches subjects such as loneliness, togetherness and the strange dynamics of neighbors. And the way in which neighbors become the background music that accompanies our lives. 

The performance takes place in an installation that takes the form of a giant cut-out property, a giant dollhouse, created by the award-winning Latvian artist Katrīna Neiburga, which gives the audience insight into different rooms - a living room, a kitchen, etc. - but also secret rooms. The rooms are inhabited by lonely, quirky personalities who are in symbiosis with their surroundings, and sometimes they engage in scenic stills and other times in frantic activity. 
They seem detached from each other, self-sufficient in their own little universe, yet they seem strangely connected.

The performance received the Special Award at the Reumert award ceremony in 2024.

The performance can also be seen on AFUK Scene on January 19th-20th.

ABOUT MØR COLLECTIVE
Symphony of Solitude - S.O.S. is created by the international artist community MØR Collective. MØR Collective aims to create accessible works that resonate with the audience, thereby contributing to a new experience of a theme, a situation or an environment. What all the projects have in common is that they relate to a contemporary problem, which is processed artistically, with the aim of creating an experience of connectedness and resonance - or resonance - with the audience.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CURATORIAL BACKGROUND FROM THE CURATORIAL TEAM OF SELECTED WORKS FESTIVAL 2025:
"The work challenges the traditional division between stage and audience, inviting the audience to move freely between different simultaneous actions, subtly connected to each other."

THE PRESS WROTE:
"Symphony Of Solitude - S.O.S. depicts loneliness with touching poetry, grotesque comedy and a deep pain that is difficult to shake off afterwards. The work offers a cognitive and emotional insight that can help us develop as human beings."
- Rie Hammer, iscene.dk

"One desperate sensorial flash follows the next in the devastating carousel performance 'Symphony of Solitude - S.O.S'. A breathtaking performance about loneliness. The piece succeeded in creating a world of solitude that never tips over. But it is also realistic physical theater with funny repetitions of all the small routine movements we perform when we are bored..." 
- Anne Middelboe Christensen, Teateravisen
