This is the sequence we choreographed for Oskar's dream. It takes place after Oskar and his Mum finish their scene, discussing the next door neighbours. His mum, in her drunken state, enters Oskar's bed, and tells him he is a "good boy". The sequence that follows is a dream from Oskar's point of view. Characters such as Halmberg feature as we discussed that in a dream, we picture people who we have seen but may not have necessarily ever had contact with. So, Oskar at this point knows of Hlamberg, but has never spoken to him, and so through his subconscious, he has imagined Halmberg into his nightmare, of being bullied and even murdered. The sequence also shows how a mysterious figure (Hakan) takes Eli away from him, another subconscious fear that we feel Oskar has planted in his own mind.
Personally, I choreographed some of the movements, as we only got a certain amount of it done in our first lesson staging it. I went home and listened to the song and created simple yet effective movements to illustrate the idea of murder and bullying that circles Oskar's mind.
