Library of gestures consists of a movement choir with no less than 20 dancers, one flutist and one percussionist. The performance is built up of three layers: a mathematically structured movement layer of gestures, as well as live music and text. The text is essayistic and poetic, with historical references that revolve around human loneliness, hope and confusion.
The idea behind the performance is the multiplication of the solitary. The dancers perform a rhythmic composition of movement that creates unexpected connections between them, and between the movement, the music and the text. The performers make the same gestures, giving them their own character.
The 20 dancers have a wide range of experience and charisma. The music is developed by renowned musicians Jennifer Torrence and Bjørnar Habbestad. The audience is given a sensory experience that allows for contemplative reflection.

Gestene våre - tankenes kroppsspråk
«Så fant jeg to bøker fra 1800-tallet som hadde tatt for seg å katalogisere menneskelige gester. For en utrolig merkelig ting å tenke at man kan få til det, det må jeg finne ut mer av.» Koreograf Janne-Camilla Lyster forteller om bakgrunnen for forestillingen «Library of Gestures» som har premiere 11. april.
