Vilka är ni? (Who are you?) is a theater performance for all ages. The audience finds itself sitting face to face with six actors donned as animals and plants – a pike, a blowfly, a grass blade, a star flower, a wood mouse and a fir cone. Eventually they take off parts of their costumes and together with the audience try to understand who they all are. Who plays a role and who doesn’t? What does it mean to be something or someone? The performance is free but requires seat reservation. In Swedish.

Are you awake at night or during the day? Can you fly? Can you swim? Do you sleep close to each other or on your own? Do you have a tail? Do you take care of those who are sick or do you leave them alone? What happens to you when you die? Are you afraid of being caught? Are you afraid of being left alone? Are you afraid of those you do not know? Are you dangerous to each other?

The theater performance Vilka är ni? (Who are you?) is shown as part of the exhibition Ingela Ihrman – Frutti di Mare and is performed by Ögonblicksteatern from Umeå. Ingela Ihrman has created the performance, costumes, and set design in close collaboration with director and playwright Maja Salomonsson. The performance is approximately 40 minutes long.

Vilka är ni? has earlier been performed at schools in Umeå and Sundsvall (2018) and at Weld, Stockholm, as part of Choreographies of the Social, curated by Edi Muka at Statens konstråd (2019). It was selected for Bibu – Performing Arts Biennial for Children and Young – in 2020.
