The Best of Darkness

The Best of Darkness is a part of the Double-bill evening DÍSABLÓT. The Best of Darkness by Erna Ómarsdóttir and Valdimar Jóhannsson to the original music by Sigur Rós and Valdimar Jóhannsson Embrace your shadow and weakness, embrace darkness!

Continuously searching for the light that casts a shadow on others, they will never satisfy their hunger, but be stuck in roaring emptiness; a tempest they have us battling forevermore. The Best of Darkness is the fourth and final piece in a series of work, inspired by darkness and the vulnerability of the human body. The first piece in the series At Dusk, We Embrace was premiered during winter solstic
