Schwarzwald is an experimental narrative project that draws on the techniques of non-linear theater to reinterpret Bortbyting, a Swedish folk tale in which infants are abducted by supernatural beings and replaced with changelings. Set within a surreal and fragmented vision of the Black Forest, the project unfolds through disjointed third-person storytelling, weaving together elements of myth, memory, and absurdity. By integrating live performance with narrative reconstruction, Schwarzwald dissolves the boundary between fiction and reality, evoking a persistent sense of estrangement and psychological dislocation. The work invites viewers into a world where the familiar becomes uncanny, prompting reflection on identity, loss, and the instability of perception.
