25min / premiere 5.06.2022

collaboration with Jette-Loona Hermanis

Pindluu põleb ja aeg külmutas nende küüned. Psalmide kaja hõõgab himust ja nunna moshpit rögatab vilus. Nad sisenesid tsemendist basseini kuni reieluuni, seejärel sääreluuni, ülalõualuuni, kuni tardus kuklaluuni. Jah, nende luused palved on üdis ja kuulda võetud... Värisevad kopsud sillerdava vee all veel puhkavad. Tundub, et astusin kamasse.

70min / premiere 26.04.2022

'Traps' incorporates a series of infinite gestures, resulting in a wet space where texts, bodies, concepts, and configurations are arranged and collide. 

Children are called dreamers, often giving wings to all that is invisible or already known or fixed. They provoke ambiguity and make friends easily with the unknown. The unknown is always looking for forms, through unconscious actions and behaviors. In addition, the unknown can sometimes make itself visible to the child. Gradually aging in the playgrounds, I notice that the "real" is only the result of a collective contract and based on territory. Identity then becomes a construct as a result, but it is a threshold - a bit of the unknown and the familiar, and something reproducible. Like a glimpse of recognition and absurdity between fiction and reality, constantly creating us with the content of different fictions.There are no clear boundaries within the parameters established in reality. Thanks to this insight, the boundary between fiction and reality disappears. The blurring of this boundary stems from my deeper understanding of what might be the engagement between humans and the environment. Inclusivity. There are wild animals, people and forms of life in the world for which our system lacks any flow of information. Yet the world offers a far more communicative reality and ways of movement with interaction than we ever know or think. 

 

I remember playing with other children in kindergarten and not needing to negotiate in words or know what game was played, in order to interact on the playground. The collective endeavor and togetherness alone provided enough playful and respectful atmosphere. In doing so, all the activities seemed to be self-evident to everyone. Rules, boundaries and common understanding settled down during the play, and the playground became an endless inventor of the universes, constantly searching for new levels, attitudes and games.

EKA Gallery, 2021

https://www.artun.ee/kalender/johhan-rosenberg/-kõdu

140min exhibition performance / 25-29.11.2021

performers Iris Lillemägi, Sveta Grigorjeva, Johhan Rosenberg, Bosa Mina and Laima Jaunzema. Sound design Mihkel Kleis / gallerist Pire Sova

The age-old phantom Kõdu is living in all organisms while decomposing them from the inside. The constant resistance with apparent subjugation will end with the inevitable surrender.

The performance takes over the gallery space with an installation that changes over time. Johhan works together with the participants based on their artistic practice. Through sensing the body movements the utterer and the uttering become one while provoking the obscure new creatures are brought to life.

Kanuti Gildi SAAL, 2021

https://saal.ee/en/performance/eden-detail-
110min / premiere 1.02.2021
collaboration with Jette-Loona Hermanis

performers Johhan Rosenberg, Jette Loona Hermanis, Eden Olev, Anne Türnpu / Andoni Zamora Txakartegi. Light design Mikk-Mait Kivi and Sasha Mirson / 
Set design: Matīss Rucko / Costumes Angela Pilliroog / Grimm Martina Gofman

“Eden Detail” is a performative fable, which melts the aged with the catastrophic following. Through the forest ghosts, witches and chants everything becomes converted to nowadays rust. Our good-old Linda was born with tattoos on her flesh. And Kalev who’s a flasher is looping with eggs. Moths on high-heels stomping the wheat as mushroom trips make the slavering beat.

The notion of freedom revolves around body, language and spectator. The main character is in a state of dissonance. Xe analyzes, looking for this place in reality, trying to find a point of freedom and creativity. The work of the choreographer seeks a balance between the intuitive and the situational, dissecting the body of dance.
