Introduction: "Like through a kaleidoscope, different approaches and topics in the drama are investigated. Encounters between people, various personalities, in synthesis with the protagonists and the situations in the play."
(kaleidoscope:
• noun 1 a toy consisting of a tube containing mirrors and pieces of coloured glass or paper, whose reflections produce changing patterns when the tube is rotated. 2 a constantly changing pattern or sequence.
— DERIVATIVES kaleidoscopic adjective.
— ORIGIN from Greek kalos ‘beautiful’ + eidos ‘form’ + -SCOPE.)
Ref.: askoxford.com
“Som gjennom et kaleideoskop analyseres dramaets ulike innfallsvinkler og tema, møter mellom mennesker, forskjellige personligheter i syntese med protagonister og situasjoner i stykket.”
On the play:
"In the Monica performance, I would like to live - like this is really good. She is purely a beautiful artist. Monica mind is how wonderful and excellent. Always nice to children, generally smile, sometimes there is a dream general sense, I think of the HP of Luna."
- Review on herStay in Shanghai, June 20th 2009
On the film in the play:
It relates to the time 1:1; the music and the dancers movement, while the camera movement is working towards this in pace, which leads to a distortion of the experience of the room, tres chic it is.

Award Winning Monica Emilie Herstad:
September 1st: Monica Emilie Herstad, herStay, is receiving the International Ibsen Award Stipend for her upcoming production Movers and shakers - Tangible channeling the existence of nature, inspired by Ibsen´s Rosmersholm, with working title Twirl, at the Banquet Prize Ceremony in September 2008, when the Ibsen Award Winner Peter Brook also receives his prize
"The choreographer, dancer and performance artist Monica Emilie Herstad established the ensemble herStay in 1999. Her works has since been synonymous with border breaking and innovative art. Monica Emilie Herstad´s exploring of the space between contemporary dance, performance, classical ballet, Japanese butoh, and visual art has manifested itself, not in a fragmented hybrid perception of the art-forms as such, but in an ingenious and pure form of ‘visualization’ or simplification that transgresses borders also in post-conceptual visual art."
-Ole Slyngstadli, in his press release for International Ibsen Awards Grant 2008
On Monica Emilie Herstad´s new project:
[Movers and shakers - Tangible channeling the existence of nature](based on the working title TWIRL), is an interesting experiment based on Ibsen’s Rosmersholm as grounds for a reinterpretation of the drama’s themes. Monica Emilie Herstad, founder and director of herStay, has several interesting approaches to Ibsen’s work, some sources of inspiration are earlier manuscripts, interpretations and discussions of Ibsen, such as Elfriede Jelinek’s book What Happened after Nora Left Her Husband or; Pillars of Society (1978), and the manuscript of The lady From the Sea that Susan Sontag adapted for visual performance and Robert Wilson (1993 - 2004).
Rosmersholm is one of Ibsen’s more provoking dramas, with series possible interpretations. Monica Emilie Herstad´s project includes several performers, the characters of Johannes Rosmer, several incarnations of Rebecca West and “a retrospective of Beate”, as well as Madam Helseth.
In her recent years work Monica Emilie Herstad was harvesting inspiration from Ibsen’s women, from Ibsen studies, from other artists interpretations, and discussions of the works, including Elfriede Jelinek’s What Happened after Nora Left Her Husband or; Pillars of Society (1978). She has extracted from Ibsen carachters such as Nora Helmer in A Dollshouse (1878), Ellida Wangel, in The Lady From The Sea (1888) and others.
Presently she is herStay working with the performance Movers and shakers - Tangible channeling the existence of nature (2009 - 2010), based on Rosmersholm, (1886), that will be staged in 2009. Rosmersholm, one of several of Ibsen’s plays exploring the female protagonist´s limited freedom of choice, here in Rebecca West’s relation to Mr.Rosmer.
herStay´s still touring 2006 performance Past is Simulation - The Ladies of the sea vs Nora, and other stories of the society was integrated in the Ibsen Year 2006. In the subtitle of the work - The Ladies from the sea vs Nora and other stories of the society, Monica Emilie Herstad is referring to her sources of inspiration, A Dollshouse and The Lady From The Sea. In the preceding production Herstad spent 3 years research time in 2005- 2008 at The Centre for Ibsen Studies, University of Oslo"
