The traditional Korean funeral is to decorate the coffin of the deceased in a splendid and large

There is a custom of going around the village where they lived and burying them in a grave. In order to do this, the role of the singer is important. Singer is in front of a coffin carrying. Guiding the deceased to rest in peace. This is because singer examines the breathing and physical strength of those who carry heavy coffins.

In traditional Korean funeral culture, sadness and mourning are important, but the funeral is also a festival.

Title - VESPERO

Heritage Museum Eyrarbakki - Opening day 11 June 2022

Vespero is the name given to Venus planet when it appears in the evening time. In common use it means the evening, the sunset time.

A solitary woman waits inside the house, constantly playing with a deck of cards,

composing infinite constellations of possibilities; as the dispositions of the cards could change her destiny and instantly transfer her from her cold dark room to the lands of perennial summer. She is waiting and waiting. But one day at the vesper time...

Few words from Maruska about her performance:

“I created this performance during the Artistic Residency Hafjor-Oceanus in Eyrarbakki. The inspiration came mainly from the meeting with people in Eyrarbakki and from the visit to the Árnessýsla Heritage Museum (Húsið á Eyrarbakka - Byggðasafn Árnesinga). I was very impressed by the passion and strong respect of the inhabitants of Eyrarbakki for the history and their ancestors, and the importance given to human activities in the past. Then I decided to work inside the museum, the cradle of the past, which contains so many memories.

Then I imagined how life could be here in the past, especially for women, but I didn't want to create and tell a story. My work goes more in the direction of working with symbols and archetypes, and also with the unconscious mind.Then the other source of inspiration was a story written by Angela Carter "The lady of the house of love" inspired from the tale Sleeping Beauty. A story that pops up in my mind during a long visit in the museum. A tale about women archetypes, love and eros.

With my dance I wanted to create a space and a time without space and time, between reality and dream.

This presence in the museum was always there, like a timeless presence, like a ghost, like a spirit, doing the same actions for billions of years, paying homage to her ancestors, freeing herself and her ancestors from the ancient chains that were passed from generation to generation.”
