Communion
Communion stages a religious ritual, where a singing priestess is handing out edible wafers with an S for Stine on it, resembling both sacramental bread and a drug.
Once the audience is fed, the priestess sings the traditional, Norwegian ballad Horpa telling the story about two sisters, of which the older one is envious of the youngest' beauty and ends up killing her and stealing her fiance. The dead body is found by two travelers who turns the corps into a harp and plays it at the older sisters wedding. The harp plays the truth, and the older sister is exposed as a murderer. They punish her by burning her alive.
Communion has been shown as part of the two day festival Songs for Attunement, curated by Cosmin Tapu at Trauma Bar & Kino in Berlin in 2022. Excerpts of the piece has also been presented at Rimi/Imir Scenekunst in Stavanger and at Daadgalerie in Berlin.
