Lónið was a graduation piece from Iceland University of the Arts, created by Magnús Thorlacius in 2022. A year later it was shown in Tjarnarbíó. Birta worked as a choreographer and assistant director.

Three people step out of their comfort zone in the looks for a piece of mind and wellness while living everyday life. They try to find complete relaxation, however, that has never been as hard as it is in these times we live in now. Now they need to conquer the mind, stimulate the senses and connect to the body and soul. Nothing can go wrong.

"Bara ef þið vissuð hvað væri í gangi. Það eru pappírar. Skjöl. Leynileg skjöl. Almenningur fær ekki aðgang að þessum skjölum. Ég og þú? Nei, nei. En þau eru til. Sama hvort þú trúir á þau eða ekki. Og þau eru stórhættuleg. Ég væri bara til í að fá að sjá þessi skjöl. Fá þetta á hreint. Er það svo flókið? Er eitthvað að mínum augum svo ég fái ekki á þessi skjöl litið? Sko. Ég er að segja ykkur það. Það eru hlutir í gangi hérna sem þið hafið ekki hugmynd um."

Review from Víðsjá, Eva Halldóra Guðmundsdóttir:

​

“Stage movements that Birta Ásmundsdóttir composed

were giving. She uses references from a capitalist society, tears

them apart and then puts them back together in an incredibly

entertaining way. Her deconstruction of country dance is amusing

and the way she plays with spraybottles came well out on stage.”
