Here, a nut falls twice is a sonic-sculptural installation that hosts a series of unfolding performance happenings. Like a living organism, it morphs and transforms—each iteration becoming a different being. For Norbergfestival’s Drift(in)circles, it will take shape as an overnight performance held within this ‘here’ space. Together, we attune to sound, darkness, and gravity’s pull, entering a shared dreamscape. In this space of falling—of vulnerability between bodies—dreams guide us in hearing one another into being.

After three years of hibernation, we awaken: from falling together at ICA London to landing now in Mimer’s circular ‘here’. We catch the drips of echoes, metallic plants’ whispers, breath-to-breath circulations, and stories—ours and others’—entwined across time. Drip by drip, audiences are invited to fall into ‘here’, to dream and experience the performance as they sleep.

Here grows out of Yen Chun Lin’s ongoing artistic research into sound-dust, sensory thresholds, syn-sleeping listening, and encounters with spirit(s). For this overnight performance of Here, a nut falls twice: Drift(in)circles, she invites beloved friends and collaborators—Alice Agency, Lithic Alliance, Lou Drago, Marijn Degenaar, Cee Füllemann, Thibaut Knapp, oxi peng, Felix Riemann a.k.a leslie, Berglind Thrastardottir, and Matilda Tjäder —to co-create this moment together.
