Sérstæðan

Incorporeal Memoirs (Sérstæðan) by choreographer Rósa Ómarsdóttir is an interdisciplinary dance performance where choreography, poetry, music, and scenography merge into one. A being from the future tells her story. She has left her body behind and uploaded herself to the digital ether. She lives only through thoughts and memories of the world that once was. What does it mean to exist without flesh, without touch? What happens when pain and pleasure vanish, when we can no longer sense each other? And what becomes of dance, when the body is gone?

The stage itself becomes the performer. Sound, light, projection, water, and smoke become the main characters. Only the audience’s bodies remain—keeping the imagined worlds alive in real time.

The show received 4 nomination for Gríman, the Icelandic Theatre Awards in 2026, including a nomination as Show of the Year.

Incorporeal Memoirs is part of Iceland Moves, a curated showcase of dance connected to Iceland at Reykjavík Dance Festival.
