On Mending, is a creation for film by two young choreographers. Multifaceted artists, Shawn Fitzgerald Ahern, performer, and movement director, and Emilie Leriche, dancer with the GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, perceive choreography as a “sensitive dimension”, where the deepest human attitudes and intricacies can be revealed.

The project, selected within the Call for Creation project and created in residency at Orsolina28, is born out of the urgency and uniqueness of the historical moment and explores three main tenets: the impermanent, the imperfect, and the incomplete.

Using these three ideas, specifically in relation to the concepts of self/body, home, and community, the work negotiates with what it means to mend, to tend to, and to rebuild.

The work proposes these themes to its performers and viewers and hints at a deeper beauty to be found in our universal capacity to support and be supported.
