In the quiet of longing
by LaMaison – a collective by Iris Auguste, Beatriz Moreira and Giulia Miceli, in collaboration with Chiara Ingrati, Yasemin Orhan and Hugo Sellam

In the quiet of longing by feminist performance collective LaMaison, is a short dance film set in early mornings and late nights, the film embraces a slow wake-up, like an immersion into the landscape of unlived hours, where the body transforms in relation to its environment, as nostalgia infiltrates the bodies of three women, enabling curiosity, intimacy, and connection.

The work explores the absence and tension between visual agency and embodied experience. In the quiet of longing invites us to move through stillness, shared presence, and the subtle motions that exist both around us and within us.

dancing with the patriarchy again
by Carol Stampone

Music/ Composition: Késia Decote

Carol Stampone invites you to stay with her work-in-progress, dancing with the patriarchy. It is an experiment, an attempt to practice revolutionary time. It is at the same time a return to her previous book fragile certainties, and a leap to reach her part-time mom, the book she is currently writing. She has hopes that some ghosts will jump in and help her show what cannot be said. Music / Composition: Késia Decote.  

Carol Stampone is a Brazilian writer and artist, based in Bergen. She holds a Bachelor’s and a Master’s in Philosophy and a Master’s in Fine Arts from the University of Bergen. Her current research is driven by questions related to hospitality, love, social justice, and the role of writing and art in healing, individually, and collectively. 

LENTE
langsomt, seigt, tregt
by Karla Lesley Jaeger

Is it a sound installation, or is it a song?

Over the past ten years, during which Karla has worked with both music and architecture, she has explored how music and spatial installations can challenge each other and create a holistic interaction. The combination of these two forms of expression is what Karla finds exciting and, in many ways, sums up her form of expression. With voice, korg, guitar, and loops, she tries to capture moods, and combine them with visual installations, and this time water plays an important role. 

Bunnløs
by Tilde Sæthre with Anneli Tveit, Elise Eidem and Pernille Therese Fjelking Alm

Bunnløsis a dance piece that explores themes of greed, power and jealousy – universal forces we encounter in our everyday lives. The work asks the question: What does this do to us as humans? The title Bunnløs symbolises a system and a world that is permeated with greed, misuse of power and a constant pursuit of more – regardless of the consequences. 

Anneli Tveit, Elise Eidem, Pernille Therese Fjelking Alm and Tilde Sæthre are a group of professional dancers with backgrounds from Høyskolen Kristiania, where they all completed a bachelor’s degree with a specialization in jazz dance. They have worked closely together over time and have developed a strong relationship both artistically and personally. Tilde Sæthre is the choreographer and dancer, thus co-creative performer in the process.
