Try-out: TARTINI'S DREAM GIRL

Hairy, stinky, and misunderstood. Drawing from notions of the devil as a complex, lonely being, this solo work is a warm welcome into hell. An opening. A one-woman show. A song. A concert. A confession. A wish for more. A promise. A failure. A love story. A longing. A constant attempt to become the other. Come with me.

Elin Hallqvist presents research material for her new project TARTINI’S DREAM GIRL, a solo that unfolds through dance, performance, violin, music, mime, drag, and objects. It lures the audience into a game of fake and real, extracting actions and layering them in new ways. What once was true is now fiction. Departing from Giuseppe Tartini’s Devil’s Trill Sonata and using hell as a backdrop, this solo reimagines the devil from a new perspective. Is she a rock star? Sweet or nasty? Or maybe just a bit lonely? With many tricks up her feathery sleeve, the devil keeps slipping through the stage(s) of hell—and you’re all invited to join her.
