Þú átt leik (e. Your it) is a relaxed, participatory stage work that places children’s play center stage and raises questions about the nature of the performing arts. The work raises questions about who gets to play in the theatre, who gets to watch, and what happens when those boundaries are blurred. Þú átt leik will premier in the fall of 2027 but the creators of the work, Aude Busson, Björn Kristjánsson, Embla Vigfúsdóttur and Sigríður Sunna Reynisdóttir, have had an open studio in Gryfja, Ásmundarsalur for the past weeks where they have been researching children’s play. They have actually turned Gryfjan into a ball pool so they main focus has been on playing. And now you are invited to join to play along!
12 - 15 November the group will take over all of Ásmundarsalur and present a series of experiences, based on their time in Gryfjan. You are invited to play along through various installations, performances and events. The event is a part of Reykjavík Dance Festival, and admission is free.
