During the 24 hours, you will have opportunities to meet one of the international partnerships they have with The National Theatre of Greenland (NUIS), watch performances and enjoy time on the farm before heading in a bus back to Aarhus.

Please note that this pre-meeting overnight stay will last until Monday 12 June, 13:00

This IETM pre-meeting stay will take place one day prior to the meeting, and offers the unique opportunity to live inside a piece of poetic artwork for one day.

Known as a very special experience, Sisters Hope Home is an extraordinary five-year-durational performance and platform for artistic research, created by the award-winning performance group and movement Sisters Hope.

Sisters Hope Home is a durational artwork and platform for artistic research. The highly immersive performance is manifested non-stop for five years and is dedicated to the poetic and sensuous modes of being and being together. 

In their home, Sisters Hope conduct artistic research on how inhabitation of the sensuous and poetic relates to the understanding of the ecological connectedness of everything and thus enables a transition into a more sustainable future.

Programme

Upon your arrival at Sisters Hope Home you will be greeted by a Sisters Staff. During your stay, you are invited to take part in an immersive journey which explores the poetic layers of our being and being together while inhabiting the artwork. Each visitor will be granted a bed in the Sisters Hope Home dormitory.

For one day you will cook, eat, sleep and live in proximity with Sisters Hope in a potential future world - Sensuous Society - where everything is based on the principles of the sensuous and poetic.

Through rituals, performative exercises and domestic life in Sisters Hope Home, the participants will investigate new ways of inhabiting the sensuous and poetic together with the Sisters Staff.

Important practicalities

The accommodation will be on site at the home in a dormitory. We invite you to pack for the overnight stay. Don't forget to bring comfortable shoes and wind/waterproofs. You will also need a rucksack to carry a water bottle and a reusable coffee mug, if you have one.

How to get there?

Take the direct train to Hedehusene Train Station from Københavns Hovedbanegård (Copenhagen Central Train Station) for a duration of 18 minutes. There is a train every hour; we recommend you to take the train at 13:07. The ticket costs 76 kr (approx. 11€). Plan your journey here. Participants will be contacted before the pre-meeting to arrange a meeting point with a guide and the rest of the group.

How do I check-in at the Sister Hope Home?

Your individual check-in time will be on Sunday 11 June, between 14:00 and 15:00.

Once registered, you will receive a welcome letter with additional information and a personal check-in time. This will be sent to your email two weeks before the pre-meeting stay. Please read this letter carefully.
