ÅSTED is a ritual performance about community and care, created by the art collective OLOLYGA. Using the voice as a vibrating instrument, the group turns the room into a liminal space that invites the audience into fertility treatment as a waiting place.
The performance plays within the exhibition ET RUM AT VENTE I by Nan Na Hvass, which draws on a personal memory of lying behind a curtain after a procedure, surrounded by other women in the same situation. Through harmonies and dissonances that follow the rhythm of the menstrual cycle, the performers and audience together aim to create a healing, chanting atmosphere among the handmade quilts.
