A cheap horse is rare. Something rare, is expensive. A cheap horse is expensive. Spelling Spectacle is a performance about logic, consequence and possibility. With 'if, then' as the underlying thought, Norwegian choreographer Ingrid Berger Myhre explores what a coherent choreographic train of thought can look like. What determines what follows, and how? Based on what elements does something acquire meaning?
In the title Spelling Spectacle, both words have a double meaning. Both evoke a sense of magic, in addition to their literal meaning that relates to reading or seeing. To spell' is to spell something out, but 'a spell' is a magic spell; 'spectacle(s)' is a spectacle to watch, or glasses to see with.
