I'M THINKING
OF YOU

I'M THINKING OF YOU lets you discover or rediscover the library as a place. As a  participant, you are invited to follow instructions through headphones, and interact with the library environment in both expected and unexpected ways. With a touch of magical realism, you will experience sneak choreography, censorship and get a glimpse of thousands of years of books’ history. You will be given the opportunity to perform secret acts of resistance and discover secret messages right in the middle of a public space. I’M THINKING OF YOU offers a playful opportunity to look at one of our most important public spaces with new eyes, and a chance to make the library your own. 

​

I’M THINKING OF YOU is played as a school performance for 10-15 year olds, but is also suitable for adults. It will also be available for individual lending for a five-year period at 11 libraries around Sweden.

​

I'M THINKING OF YOU was chosen for The Performing Arts Biennial for children and youth 2024 in Sweden with the motivation:
 

"A gentle voice in the headphones guides us through the library. On the basis of our own bodies, we move through the room in a choreography. Alone and together with others. With assignments we are taken into the world of literature. Words connect time and space. Simple actions make us part of history. The performance is a celebration of reading and libraries as defenders of democratic values and freedom of expression. Libraries as meeting places all over the world - a cultural policy statement."
