Pillow Talk works as a listening device set to engage the public with the lives of asylum seekers and refugees in Iceland. The setup is simple: several emergency beds from the Red Cross, that serve as beds for asylum seekers in Iceland, are travelling the city. They are equipped with speakers and are broadcasting an array of stories. The audience is invited to lie down and listen. The stories have been carefully edited to give an insight into the person portrayed and are looking to find new ways of engaging with the \u2018story of a refugee\u2019. Through lying down in the bed, shifting their bodies and having the sensory stimulation the audience is invited to experience a new way of connectedness to the topic.<\/p>\n

Sonja Kova\u010devi\u0107 is an Austrian theatre-maker based in Iceland. An interest in exploring current topics and creating a theatre that bridges the gap between theory and practice lace her projects. This often leads to works with marginalized groups in society.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The performance takes place in The Nordic House Auditorium – Free entrance.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
