About the Project:

"Ensam Galning" is a site-specific theatrical performance written and directed by Isabel Cruz Liljegren, presented at Göteborgs Stadsteater in April 2019. The performance took place in an old slaughterhouse, providing a unique and challenging setting for the exploration of misfit women and the desire to understand or classify them. Alexandra Nordberg, the sole actor in the piece, carries the responsibility of maintaining and breaking the illusion, creating a riveting narrative that is both personal and universal.

BK Sannerud's Contribution:

As the sound designer, music composer, and video designer for "Ensam Galning," BK Sannerud played a crucial role in shaping the performance's auditory and visual landscape. Their innovative approach to sound design and music composition, combined with their expertise in video design, helped to enhance the narrative and create a unique, immersive experience for the audience. Drawing inspiration from the Twin Peaks soundtrack, Persian ambient music, and whimsical children's tunes, BK crafted a soundscape that perfectly complemented the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the old slaughterhouse. Their work on this project was particularly notable for its creative use of sound to underscore the themes of the performance, and their video design further enriched the visual storytelling of the piece.
