PING and SKULLS

Crossborder Artwork

28.11 – 29.11 2024

Malmö

As part of the extensive program in connection with the exhibition “On the Absurd Drama That Is Also Life”, Karl Dunér’s play PING and SKULLS is presented.

In Karl Dunér’s cross-border works of art “PING and SKULLS”, puppet theater is combined with sound sculpture and live music. The performance in four tableaus is based on texts by Samuel Beckett.

Dunér is constantly expanding the concept of theatre. He creates figures, objects and scenographies and lets them become part of the overall scenic experience.

Excerpt from review in national Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet:

“Karl Dunér stages a philosophical gesamtkunstwerk, blending puppet theater, sculpture, and live music, expanding the concept of theater. Not all art clamors for attention. Some seeks the subtle, the whispered connections, creating space for what is almost unspeakable, what can only be sensed.”

“A beautiful moment of synchronicity, an exercise in creating wholeness from fragments.”
