Takk Takk | Perform Czech

We are slowly discovering what Iceland is all about. How strange the warm water smells here, how the wind blows and how early it gets dark. The dark sea creatures that come out to the lighthouse after all the townspeople are asleep. The Aurora Borealis hides behind the clouds, but we all know this strange phenomenon is out there somewhere. Lonely farms at the foot of the mountains, huge glaciers. Seals. A strange light that makes you feel that each minute here is more special than anywhere else. All this we learn to understand and know.

We decided to create TakkTakk during our study stay in Reykjavik. We look forward to seating our audience of 8 together at our table. The production is not interactive or immersive, but it is miniature in scale and we need to be able to see the small objects comfortably.
