World Premiere 
Reykjavík Arts Festival

LOVE LOVE is a music performance by Arnbjörg María Danielsen, unfolding as an open system of sound, movement, and material presence. Developed in collaboration with choreographer Leah Marojević, Ensemble Adapter (Matthias Engler and Gunnhildur Einarsdóttir), and Salka Valsdóttir, the work dissolves boundaries between music, bodies, and objects. At the centre of LOVE LOVE is the eternal game itself—play without points, without winners, without an end, open to interruption. In tennis, love means zero. Here, zero is pressure: the charged pause before something begins again. LOVE LOVE is played not to win, not to resolve, but to remain in motion.

Varpcast is a radio show presented by musicians Ensemble Adapter (Reykjavík, Berlin), Celeste Oram (Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland) and Keir GoGwilt (Edinburgh, Manhattan). It scavenges the public broadcasting archives of island nations - especially Aotearoa/New Zealand and Iceland - and talks back to this archive, and to the global 20th century, from the supposed periphery of islands. As these island stories oscillate between geopolitics and anecdotes, the zany and the heartfelt, they offer much to considerations of the future, and the search for personal & political self-determination in a globally indebted world. Because everywhere is far away from somewhere – yet no man, nor nation, is an island. Devised & performed by Celeste Oram, Ensemble Adapter & Keir GoGwilt. Recorded at Figure8 Studios, Brooklyn NY Engineered & mixed by Lily Wen. For more information click here.
