THE MINISTRY OF UNRESOLVED FEELINGS
The performance
The Ministry of Unresolved Feelings has scarce resources but an important mission. The caseworkers are responsible for solving problems that no other agencies can remedy. The paper stacks in the incoming tray grow ever higher, but a surprisingly high number of applicants have their cases reviewed.
“The Ministry of Unresolved Feelings” is one of four pieces Jo Strømgren has created for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani. This particular creation was a part of GöteborgsOperans’ project “Skapa dans”, aimed at teenagers and young audiences.
Jo Strømgren has previously created Herzschmerz (2009), Utkanten (2011), and Fortet (2020) for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani.
