The Artistic Research
MARAN - in Danish Maren - is the name of a supernatural being from Norse mythology. The mare haunts people and animals at night, giving them nightmares. She creeps up on the chest of the sleepers and squeezes both air and life force out of them. The victim wakes up in a cold sweat and with the feeling of having been suffocated.
MARAN is a scenic study of man's fascination with fright. The performance is a free-standing follow-up to “Malted Milk,” Skoop's 2011 debut. In the work of MARAN they employ the fear as a catalyst for immediate relational situations.
Man has an inherent fascination with excitement and fright. When we confront ourselves with horror experiences, our subconscious readiness in the face of threatening mortal danger is trained. We are prepared. We are awake. There is a certain satisfaction associated with this state of mind, which has a direct contact with the primordial power that lies within us. The idea that there exists an instinctive desire to awaken the minds to life, we will transfer to the theater and the meeting with the audience.
