Scenekunst Østfold presents
Scenekunst Østfold is the Norwegian
member of IN SITU European Network for
Artistic Creation in Public Space.
In cooperation with NonStop International
Theatre Festival and Momentum 8 - Nordic
Biennial for Contemporary Art, this special
Focus program will look at how artists are
increasingly using the public realm as the
basis for their work.
Combining site-sensitive performances,
pre­sentations, dialogues and workshops,
we will investigate strategies for urban and
industrial arenas as well as the natural
landscape.

KJÆRE PUBLIKUM!
Den årlige NonStop
International Theatre Festival
er tilbake. Samarbeidet
mellom festivalen, Østfold
Kulturutvikling, Scenekunst
Østfold, DKS og In Situ Focus
program gir et tydelig preg.
Endelig kan vi presentere en
egenproduksjon; det første
større samarbeidet mellom
Scenekunst Østfold, NonStop
Festivalen og Parkteatret
AS. Odysseen er den norske
utgaven av den engelske
teatergruppen Theatre Ad
Infinitums internasjonale
monster-hit, hvor Homers epos
blir kondensert ned til en drøy
times monolog på speed. Det er
engelskmennene selv som har
regien, og på scenen står Silje
Torp (kjent fra Lilyhammer, Dag
og Underholdningsavdelingen).
Forestillingen har urpremiere
under festivalen, og vil turnere
nasjonalt i 2016 og 2017.
In Situ Focus Program
muliggjør å hente inn
eksklusive og kostbare
produksjoner. Takket være
Østfold Kulturutvikling og
James Moores arbeid over tid
på internasjonale arenaer fikk
VELKOMMEN TIL ÅRETS
NONSTOP-FESTIVAL
vi ifjor se Cooperatzia med
Le G. Bistaki i en fantastisk
forestilling. I år kommer de
tilbake med The Baïna Trampa
Fritz Fallen. Også dette spilles
i de fantastiske omgivelsene på
Verket. Det er bare å skaffe seg
billett.
Den Kulturelle Skolesekken
(DKS) er en av de viktigste
kulturbærerne Norge har. Vi
er glade for at DKS bruker
Parkteatret i dagene før den
offisielle åpningen av NonStop
Festivalen til å samle omlag
5000 barn fra hele Østfold for å
se en moderne danseversjon av
Askeladden og de gode hjelperne,
Abcense Crew. Noe av det aller
viktigste vi gjør under festivalen
er å gi barn gode kulturelle
opplevelser til både inspirasjon,
ettertanke og underholdning.
Festivalen har stor bredde som
vanlig. Fra det bredeste brede
- forestillinger med Wenche
Myhre eller Sigrid Bonde
Tusvik, via familievennlige
forestillinger som Paolo
Nanis Small Catastrophes,
til eksperimentell dans fra
tsjekkiske Spitfire Company.
Vi er også glade for å ha med
4 —— NONSTOP FESTIVALEN 2015
kritikerroste Statsteatret som
kommer med 1066 - Slaget ved
Stamford Bridge.
Det er bare å finlese
programmet, finne noe
spennende, kanskje utfordre deg
selv litt, ta med familie, venner,
barn … det er i Moss det skjer
disse dagene i september.
Per-Olav Sørensen
KUNSTNERISK LEDER
Vi er inne i vår andre sesong
som samarbeids­partner
i Non Stop International
Theatre Festival, og i år kan
Scenekunst Østfold tilby
publikum ikke mindre enn fire
premierer under festivalen.
Årets program er spesielt
innholdsrikt, og det er mer enn
noen gang før tematisk farget
av den tiden vi lever i. Vår
samarbeidsproduksjon med
festivalen starter med følgende
linjer: Ti år med kamper i Troja.
Ni års slit for å vende hjem.
Forestill deg å være hjemmefra i
nitten år…
Det eldste heltedikt i den
europeiske kulturkretsen er
Homers Odysseen, og felles
for all heltediktning er at de
befatter seg med historiske
emner hvor hovedpersonen
kjemper mot overmakten.
Scenekunst Østfolds bidrag er
alle ny­produk­sjoner, og disse
er: Odysseen, Lullaby, Lisbet på
Jarnfjell, og familieforestillingen
Fryktens Fromasj. Alle har som
fellesnevner at de handler om
de gode kreftenes kamp. I en
tid hvor våre humanistiske
verdier er satt på prøve
daglig, og hvor verdibegreper
som dialog, menneskeverd,
dannelse, demokrati og den
frie kritiske tanke ikke kan få
nok oppmerksomhet er det
viktig for meg at deler av årets
program reflekterer et ønske
om å gi nettopp disse verdiene
en sentral og aktiv plass både i
kunsten og i dagliglivet.
Det er ekstra verdifullt for oss
at vi har utøvere som deltar
gjennom EU-programmene og
EEA-tilskud­dene i år, ettersom
disse til­takene har som grunn­
verdi å fremme demo­krati og
samarbeid på tvers av lande­
grenser. Vårt InSitu Focusprogram blir gjennom­ført for
første gang, og her vil kultur­
arbeidere og publi­kum i regi­
onen få mulighet til å oppleve
et mangfold av europeiske
samtidsimpulser.
Scenekunst er samhandling, og
for oss som fylkeskommunal
virksomhet er det å skape gode
vilkår for samarbeid viktig.
Det er derfor på sin plass å
takke alle enkeltpersonene,
kommunene, næringslivet og
de frie gruppene som gjør det
mulig for oss i Scenekunst
Østfold å presentere et så
mangfoldig program.

WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS PERFORMING IN LE G. BISTAKI
COOPERATZIA (THE TRAIL) AT VERKET IN SEPTEMBER 2014.
WORKSHOP MED G. BISTAKI
G. Bistaki skal igjen lede engasjerende workshop-aktiviteter som er åpne for alle. Som
med Cooperatzia (The Trail) i fjor vil dette bli en morsom og begivenhetsrik opplevelse for
deltagerne. Workshopene er gratis men du må forplikte deg til fem kvelder. G. Bistaki har ingen
bestemt målgruppe og hilser alle som har lyst velkommen. I tre kvelder vil deltagere øve på
karakterutvikling og performance-tablåer som blir en del av vandreforestillingen The Baïna
Trampa Fritz Fallen på Verket. Ingen spesiell kompetanse eller ferdigheter kreves. Dette handler
om viljen til å delta og bidra til en unik teateropplevelse. Det er begrenset til 15 deltagere.
KONTAKT [email protected] FOR INFO OG PÅMELDING.
G. Bistaki shall once again lead engaging workshop activities that are open for all. As with
Cooperatzia (The Trail) last year, this will be a fun and rewarding experience for those who
participate. The workshops are gratis but you must commit yourself to five evenings. G. Bistaki
is not looking for any particular kind of individual nor group profile. For three evenings the
participants will practice character development and performance tableaux that will become part
of the promenade performance The Baïna Trampa Fritz Fallen at Verket. No special competence or
skills are required. It is more about the desire to participate and contribute to a unique, theatrical
experience. Limited to 15 participants.
CONTACT [email protected] FOR INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION.
Workshopene arrangeres i samarbeid med Scenekunst Østfold med støtte fra IN SITU Plattform.
The workshops are organized in cooperation with Scenekunst Østfold and supported by the IN SITU Platform.

KREATIV ARENA
Kreativ Arena er en årlig nettverkssamling for
rektorer, lærere og kulturkontaktelever ved alle
grunn- og videregående skolene i Østfold, samt
representanter for kulturskoler, kommuner og ulike
kulturinstitusjoner. Programmet utarbeides og ledes
av Kulturformidling Østfold som er en underavdeling
av Østfold Kulturutvikling. Hensikten med Kreativ
Arena er at innholdet i, og gjennomføringen av, Den
kulturelle skolesekken skal informeres om, diskuteres
i plenum og gjennom utvalgte produksjoner også
evalueres.
Årets Kreativ Arena er lagt til Moss, og i samarbeid
med NonStop-festivalen vises forestillingen
Askeladden på Parkteateret. Det vil også være
presentasjoner av forestillingen Forbrytelse og straff
og Fryktens Fromasj. Det gis også et spesialtilbud
for deltagere på Kreativ Arena til festivalens
åpningsforestilling Odysseen med Silje Torp.

Homers mektige epos Odysseen er dramatisert i forskjellige former. Årets
samproduksjon med Nonstop-festivalen er en mektig monolog basert
på det engelske Theatre Ad Infinitums bearbeidelse av Odysseen. Dette
er teater i sin reneste form: En skuespiller alene på scenen gjenskaper
alle dramatiske hendelser i Odysseen. Gjennom historiefortelling,
stemmebruk, lys og et stort register av fysiske utrykk, gjenskapes historien
i en nær og spennende form.
Utøver Silje Torp er en av Norges mest profilerte komikere, og i denne
forestillingen får man se hele bredden av hennes talent.
UTØVER : SILJE TORP
REGI: GEORGE MANN OG NIR PALDI / THEATRE AD INFINITUM
OVERSETTELSE: KRISTOFER BLINDHEIM GRØNSKAG
Theatre Ad Infinitum reinvent the timeless Greek myth with Silje Torp.
One actor. One hour. The story about one man’s epic quest to reunite with
his family and seek his bloody revenge. Passionate, highly physical, and
poignant storytelling brings this breathtaking adventure to life. A journey
that will ignite the imagination and awaken the senses…

BABA ISRAELUS
THE SPINNING WHEEL
HIPHOP-TEATER
Jeg vil gjøre min fars filosofi om til en praktisk verktøykasse
som kan brukes til å gjøre verden til et bedre sted å leve.
- BABA ISRAEL
The Spinning Wheel er et internasjonalt samarbeid mellom hiphopteaterutøveren Baba Israel og den kunstneriske leder ved teateret
Unfinished Business, Leo Kay. Forestillingen er en hyllest til Steve Ben
Israel, en av grunnleggerne av det sagnomsuste Living Theatre. Steve Ben
Israel var jazzmusiker, standupkomiker og aktivist. I en kombinasjon av
tekst, video og levende musikk fremført av Yako 440, er dette en forestilling
som handler om det unike livet, og idealene Steve Ben Israel levde for. En
nær forestilling med hiphop i kombinasjon med videoprojeksjoner.
Hiphop-teater er samtidsteater som bruker én eller flere av
hiphopkulturens fire elementer i sin formidling; breakdance, graffiti,
rapping, DJ-ing. Elementer som spoken word, beatboxing og annen hiphopdans enn breaking kan også være med.
UTØVER: BABA ISRAEL
REGI: LEO KAY
MUSICAL DIRECTOR: YAKO440
VIDEO ARTIST: RICHARD RAMCHURN (ALBINOMOSQUITO)
VISUAL ARTIST: ERIC DROOKER
Jazz musician, beat poet, stand-up comic, political activist and core member
of the iconic Living Theatre, Steve Ben Israel passed in 2012, leaving behind
a legacy, a story and a family. He used his art to speak out against injustice
and to try and find humour in the madness of modern America, and he
inspired Baba to do the same.
Leo and Baba decided to make the show to celebrate his unique life and the
powerful ideals he lived by, re-imagining his story through a combination of
hip hop, intimate performance, live music and video interaction.

SYMPHONY OF A MISSING ROOM
KOGNITIVT TEATER
...senses discombobulated, there begins a bizarre voyage as
hands lead you through an apparently dissolving building
while voices swim... Theirs is a generous, theatrical art that
they often describe as a “tool”, a bracing alternative to the
totemic object. – BEN BEAUMONT-THOMAS, THE GUARDIAN
Kunstnerduoen Lundahl & Seitl utforsker rom, tid og persepsjon i
stadig større installasjoner. Alltid med nærhet til et spesifikt mediums
historie og institusjonalisering i museer, gallerier, teatre og funne steder.
Deres prosjekter spenner over arkitektur, kognitiv nevrologi, klassisk
musikkteater og opplevelsesdesign. Til Momentum 8 har Lundahl &
Seitl tilpasset et tidligere arbeid; Symphony of a Missing Room. Det er
et sammensatt kunstverk som reflekterer rundt museet som fenomen.
Gjennom å alltid respondere til vertsinstitusjonen skal denne versjonen
snu blikket innover og mot seg selv. Med bind for øynene fratas
betrakteren den direkte visuelle observasjon, og tvinges til å overveie
tidligere minner og erfaringer gjennom kroppens hukommelse – til en
personlig projisering av omgivelsene.
The artist duo Lundahl & Seitl investigate space, time and perception in
increasingly large-scale installations, always in proximity to the history
of a specific medium and its institution. The commission for Momentum
8 is an adaptation of a previous work titled Symphony of a Missing Room.
It is a composite artwork reflecting the museum as a phenomenon. The
blindfolding goggles deprive direct visual observation and thus prompt
visitors to reconsider past events from lived experience, from their body
memory, into a personal projection of their present surroundings.

INTIMKONSERT
En av Norges mest folkekjære artister
Wenche Myhre er en av Norges mest folkekjære artister, og hun har nådd
ut til et stort internasjonalt publikum.
Denne kvelden møter vi henne sammen med «kjærs’ten min», som hun
selv sier. Anders Eljas er en av Europas fremste arrangører og dirigenter,
og gjennom denne intimkonserten kommer vi både musikalsk og
personlig tett på et spennende par.
Wenche Myhres karriere startet allerede som 7-åring i 1954, og hun
fikk sin første platekontrakt etter en talentkonkurranse på Chat Noir i
1960. Det har gått slag i slag siden den gang, med plateutgivelser, revy og
TV-opptredener. Wenche er et svært engasjert menneske også når hun
er av scenen. Allerede som 18-åring samlet hun inn penger og åpnet et
barnesykehus i Gaza.
Wenche Myhre is one of Norways most famous artist, with a career that
spends over six decades. She also has a large international audience.
Together her boyfriend, famous conductor Anders Eljas, this concert an
intimate meeting between two great musicians and the audience.

På gressplenen i den barokke hagen på Alby Gård står et gigantisk
glassbur. Inne i dette «akvariumet» er to kvinnelige dansere, strippet ned
til deres dyriske essens, og et tre. Gjennom Animal Exitus uforsker det
prisbelønte tsjekkiske Spitfire Company de fem stadier som mennesket
gjennomgår under traumatiske opplevelser: sjokk, sinne, forhandling,
depresjon og aksept eller resignasjon. Forestillingen er en usminket
gransking av hvordan vi kjemper for vår verdighet under livets mest
prøvende, og ofte transformerende, situasjoner. Publikum bærer trådløse
hodetelefoner og beveger seg fritt rundt denne rå og sårbare performanceinstallasjonen.
Ta med paraply i tilfelle regn, da forestillingen krever at du bærer
hodetelefoner.
On the lawn of the baroque-style garden of the Alby Estate stands an
enormous glass box. In this ‘aquarium’ are two dancers, stripped to their
animalistic essence, and a tree. This award-winning Czech ensemble
explores the five stages that humans undergo as a result of traumatic
experiences: shock, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance or
resignation. Animal Exitus examines how we struggle to preserve our
dignity during life’s most trying, and often transformative, situations. The
audience wears wireless headphones and moves freely around this raw
and vulnerable performance installation.
Bring umbrella if raining as the performance requires that you wear
headphones.

LISBET PÅ JARNFJELL
SOLOTEATER
Johan Falkberget var en mester i å skrive tekster om de store spørsmål
i livet, innenfor en geografisk ramme som var både hard og kald. Hans
roman Lisbet på Jarnfjell kom ut i 1915, og hundreårsjubileet blir markert
på Røros i oktober 2015.
Fortellingen foregår på 1800-tallet og preges av de konvensjoner man
hadde på den tiden, både i forhold til moraloppfatning og gudstro.
For Lisbet blir hennes styrke og selvbevissthet et overmot som slår tilbake
på henne selv. De to grunnfølelsene i hennes liv, æren og kjærligheten, blir
kløvet, og det hele utvikler seg til en uløselig konflikt. Hvis en ikke aner
rekkevidden av sine egne følelser vil det lett føre til fall og ulykke. Lisbets
nedvurdering av kjærligheten uthuler hennes sterke og sunne karakter, og
forvandler henne til et vesen som ødelegger både seg selv og andre. Den
makt kjærligheten har over henne, gjør at hennes andre gode egenskaper
smuldrer bort.
UTØVERE: IDA FREDERIKSEN
DRAMATISERING: IDA FREDERIKSEN
REGI: KJELL MOBERG
This monologue is a dramatization of Johan Falbergets novel Lisbet
på Jarnfjell first published in 1915. Thru storytelling, music and close
interaction with the audience the performer Ida Frederiksen bring us
back to the remote areas of Norway with a story about love and survival.

...physically challenging performance loaded with imaginative
movement and abstract physicallity that unearths the
existential depths of the human body and psyche.
- VLADIMIR HULEC, THEATRE TIMES
Boksing er den primære metaforen i denne solo danseforestillingen som
undersøker menneskers indre kamp med Parkinsons sykdom. Gjennom
hypnotiske bølger av stemme og lyd skal en kvinne kjempe alene, gjennom
uttmatelse og kollaps, i en personlig boksering som blir en metafysisk
tilstand. Forestillingen iscenesettes i en av de eldste bygningene i den
nedlagte Peterson-fabrikken. Bygningens forfalne tilstand styrker det
tematiske innhold i stykket, mens et unikt publikumsforhold til scenen gir
et annerledes perspektiv på den objektifiserte kroppen i kamp med seg selv.
Samarbeidet mellom danser Markèta Vacovská og vokalist Lenka Dusilová
har både vunnet og blitt nominert til en rekke internasjonale priser.
Boxing is the primary metaphor in this solo dance performance exploring
humans’ internal struggle with Parkinson’s disease. Amid hypnotic waves
of voice and sound a woman fights alone, through exhaustion and collapse,
in a personal boxing ring that becomes a metaphysical condition. The
performance will be staged in one of the oldest buildings of the former
Peterson factory. The buildings deteriorating condition underscores the
thematic intentions of the work, while the unique relationship between
audience and stage provide an alternative perspective toward the
objectified body in battle with itself.

1066 - SLAGET VED STAMFORD BRIDGE
TEATER
Statsteatret gir oss nytt, verdifullt, velspilt teater. Det er godt
vi skal se mer til dem. - DAGBLADET
Statsteatret angriper norgeshistorien og kongesagaene med respektløs
dødsforakt. Det du trodde du visste om det berømte slaget kan bli snudd
på hodet når de rutinerte skuespillerne går løs på historien som en
teatral versjon av Mythbusters. Lever vikingen i oss fremdeles? Dette
er en tragikomedie om et av de verste slagene i norsk historie, der 5000
nordmenn mistet livet i forsøket på å erobre England.
Historien kretser om dagene før slaget ved Stamford bridge, og vi møter
blant annet: En konge, Harald Hardråde, preget av tunge depresjoner.
Hans sønn, Olav, som sliter med vektproblem og et alvorlig forhold til
Gud. En skald, Tjodolv, som drømmer om å skrive en bestselger i en
verden av analfabeter, og en landsforvist engelsk Jarl, Toste, som sliter
sosialt og har et mulig rusproblem.
Møt fire svette menn som med vekslende imponerende fysikk gir alt
for Norge. Velkommen til en drøy time fylt med drama, action, historie,
humor, krim og kjærlighet. ADVARSEL: Det vil bli brukt et meget
eksplisitt språk, samt menn som kysser. Det vil også bli stekt vafler, hvilket
kan medføre stekeos.
This story unfolds during the days before the battle of Stamford Bridge.
We meet King Harald Hardråde – suffering from a heavy depression.
His son, Olav – overweight and with a firm belief in God. A poet, Tjodolv
– dreaming of literary fame in a world of illiteracy, and an expatriate
English Earl, Toste – socially challenged with a possible drug addiction.
Performed with physicality and in Norwegian explicit lyrics. And
occasionally men kissing.

Bistaki is an experience. It is a world in itself. An outdoor
spectacle of an unprecedented standard... - COBRA.BE (BELGIA)
Fjorårets store suksess er tilbake på NonStop og det gamle Petersonanlegget! Le G. Bistaki er et særegent kollektiv fra Toulouse som utforsker
forholdet mellom kropp, objekt og rom, på uforutsigbare og forunderlige
måter! I fjor tok de med seg tusenvis av takstein og damevesker. I år tar
de utgangspunkt i flere tonn genmodifisert mais, snøskuffer og pene hvite
dresser. Denne gangen har Bistakis koreografiske og utforskende sirkus
funnet en ny rute gjennom det nedlagte fabrikkområdet.
Uvanlige lys- og videobilder, fengende musikk og levende tablåer er
vesentlige elementer i reisen. Ikke gå glipp av dette morsomme, absurde
og poetiske eventyret for hele familien!
MOSS KOMMUNE
Last year’s great success returns to NonStop festival and the former
Peterson factory. Le G. Bistaki is an outlandish collective from Toulouse
that explores the relationship between body, object, and space in
unpredictable and astounding ways! Last year they arrived with
thousands of roof tiles, an assortment of ladies’ handbags and trench
coats. This year’s inspiration is drawn from several tons of genetically
modified corn, snow shovels, and white dress suits. Armed with these,
Bistaki will take their choreographic and investigative circus and embark
on an entirely new route through Verket.
Uncommon lighting and video imagery, captivating music and living
tableaux are central elements on the journey. Don’t miss this humorous,
absurd and poetic adventure for the whole family!

Ekstraordinær konsertopplevelse
En unik konsert med en stor gruppe perkusjonister presenteres i den største
hallen på Verket. Rommet brukes både som instrument og arena, mens
musikerne utforsker dens særegne akustikk.
Batagraf-kollektivet er et forum av perkusjonister sprunget ut fra en
idé av Jon Balke tidlig på 2000-tallet. Gruppen utforsker grensene til
rytmisk musikk, og har skapt en rekke vellykkede prosjekter i Europa, i
samarbeid med solister som bl.a. Sidsel Endresen, Arve Henriksen og Nils
Petter Molvær. Gjennom studier i Gambia og Senegal har de gått dypt inn
i spilleteknikker fra Wolofmusikken, men har hele tiden hatt fokus på å
utvikle samtidsmusikk basert på originale idéer.
Nå samarbeider Batagraf med et nytt slagverksensemble, Extended Ground.
Sammen med vokalist Bjørn Tomren vil de to gruppene dykke inn i et
eksplosivt, rytmisk, snublende, rykkete og dynamisk univers. Garantert en
minneverdig opplevelse!

The collective Batagraf is a forum of percussionists initiated by Jon Balke
early in the 2000s that explores the boundaries of rhythmic music. Through
studies in Gambia and Senegal they investigated performance techniques
from Wolof music, though they have always retained their focus on creating
contemporary music based upon original ideas. Together with vocalist
Bjørn Tomren and the percussion ensemble Extended Ground they will
explore the largest hall of the former paper factory, turning the room itself
into an instrument.

ET PLUTSELIG FALL
DANS, STEDSENSITIV
Et menneske faller. Er det alvor, en lek, en lettelse?
Et fall kan være dramatisk, komisk, uforklarlig. Et fall kan sette spor.
Forestillingen leker vilt med fall, og ikke minst hvordan i all verden
komme seg opp igjen?
Prosjektet er et samarbeid mellom Scenekunst Østfold og videreutdanning
i «Scenekunst i offentlig rom» ved Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo. Studiet retter
seg mot den «utvidede» forestillingen, et møte mellom kunstnere og
publikum rundt et kunstnerisk konsept, en form for aktiv, deltakende
publikumsbygging. Denne fremførelsen skal oppstår på tilfeldige steder
og tidspunkt i byrommet ved bruk av amatørdansere. På denne måten kan
forestillingen oppleves spontant og tilfeldig, og publikumere ikke er klar
over at fallet er iscenesatt ved første øyekast.
A Sudden Fall — A person falls. Is it serious, a game, a relief?
A fall can be dramatic, comical, inexplicable. A fall can leave marks. This
performance plays wildly with falling, not least how we shall manage
get up again. The project is a cooperation between Scenekunst Østfold
and Oslo National Academy of the Arts advanced studies program
Performance in Public Space. The studies are directed toward an
‘expanded’ performance, a meeting between artists and audience around
an artistic concept, often with a form for active, participatory audience
building. This presentation shall occur unannounced at random places in
the city center using amateur dancers. In this manner the performance
should be experienced spontaneously and coincidentally, with the
audience being unaware at first glance that it is being staged.

JEKYLL ON ICE!
KOMEDIE
En boblende visuell kommedie, som med varme og humor
skildrer forsøket på å skape balanse mellom å være tro mot seg
selv, og bli elsket for den man er.
I Paolo Nanis Jekyll On Ice! er Jekyll en følsom og innadvendt iskrem­
selger, som i forsøket på å bryte isen og nå ut av sin sjenanse kommer
voldsomt på glattisen. I sin bestrebelse på å finne opp verdens beste is,
skjer et uhell. Ingrediensene blandes feil, og ut av det blå kommer hans
fandenivoldske motsetning‚ Hyde.
Jekyll On Ice! er en boblende visuell komedie, som med varme og humor
skildrer forsøket på å skape balanse mellom å være tro mot seg selv og å
bli elsket for den man er. Med visuell poesi, fysiske gags, enorme ballonger
og en sjarmerende isvogn kombinerer Paolo Nani sin erfaring fra klovnens
univers med interaktivt teater i byrommet. Publikum følger Paolo Nanis
sprelske twist på kjente figurer, underholdes og inviteres med i en lekende
musikalsk forestilling - som slutter med en isfest for alle.
Paolo Nanis fun, round figure, Jekyll, is an ice-cream salesman, with his
very own way of doing business. Whether the ice cream melts, or the
air leaks out of the balloons, the audience is guaranteed surprises and
laughter! Paolo Nani brings a fully equipped ice-cream cart with giant
speakers, smoke machine and air pump that can shoot 2.000 litres of air
per minute. The heart of the performance lies in the playful way in which
Paolo Nani and the audience interact to create the magic together.

FRYKTENS FROMASJ
FIGURTEATER
Uno bor i en koffert og idag er det vaskedag. Mens han driver og henger
opp vasken får han øye på en rotte jakten rundt i salen begynner! Dette
leder ham over i historien om da Ondskapens rotte truet det magiske
landet, Silverdalen.
Figurene oppstår mens Uno forteller, men de oppfører seg ikke alltid slik
han vil – de er uenige om hva som egentlig skjedde eller de ønsker å stå
fram i et bedre lys, etc.
Fortellingen om den senile Kong Sølve, den slemme kokken Herr Punk og
den muntre hjelpegutten Fred undersøker forholdet mellom dukkespiller
og dukke – hvem styrer hvem?
Forestillingen er inspirert av den klassiske «Punch and Judy»-formen, en
forestillingsform som har vært elsket av barn og voksne i flere hundre år.
Vi ønsker å bruke styrkene ved denne formen, i modernisert versjon, til
å skape en magisk teaterforestilling som engasjerer og morer et moderne
publikum på en helt ny måte.

SMALL CATASTROPHES
PANTOMIME
«En ny forestilling av den virtuose mestermimiker Paolo Nani,
som feirer hverdagens små seire over livets krumspring, så vi
ler, blir rørt og går rikere hjem.»
Kjenner du følelsen av at tingene gjør opprør? At katastrofene
kommer i stimer? Mens vi må akseptere små katastrofer i hverdagen,
er teateropplevelsen annerledes - styrt av total kontroll av scenens
virkemidler, kroppen og teknikken. Men allikevel går det galt: Den
stakkars skuespilleren i Små katastrofer blir utsatt for alle ulykker som
kan ramme en forestilling. Mikrofoner virker ikke, rekvisitter blir glemt
eller går i stykker, lamper faller ned, feil musikk, feil tekst, et jordskjelv
rammer teatret - og andre små katastrofer.
Resultatet er et uimotståelig stykke komisk metateater. Ulykkene velter
inn over ham, ender som katastrofer - eller som en befrielse fra hver­
dagens kjedsomhet.
Paolo Nani feirer hverdagens heltemot. Vi holder fast ved målet, og
fortsetter på tross av hverdagens små katastrofer og vår umulige skjebne.
The performance is blurring the boarders between the personal and the
performer. Small Catastrophes is based on Paolo Nanis own personal
manias and fixations. The kind of tics we all know and believe that we are
the only ones in the world to suffer from, but which are actually common
to most parts of humanity.

Videreutdanningstilbudet Scenekunst i offentlig rom er et prosjekt- og

Vi har invitert to av studentene, Katrine Kirsebom og Yvonne Wiche
Levinsen, til å skape hver sin intervensjon i Verket. Disse er korte
eksperimenter som utformes i møte mellom kunstnere og stedet.
Det selges ikke egne billetter til disse forestillingene. Tilgang for alle
publikummere med festivalpass, dagspass eller billett til Sniper’s Lake.
Oslo National Academy of the Arts has recently opened an advanced
studies program in Performing Arts in Public Space where Scenekunst
Østfold is a cooperating institution. The studies are directed toward an

We have invited two of the students, Katrine Kirsebom and Yvonne Wiche
Levinsen, to each create their own short interventions at Verket. These
are short experiments that emerge from the meeting between artists and
site. There are no individual tickets for these performances, but you must

DANS, STEDSENSITIVE
Award-winning company from Czech Republic that was one
of Aerowaves Twenty in 2014, an annual selection of the most
promising emerging choreographers in Europe.
Hvordan er det å være på flukt for eget liv? Et endeløst løp mot en usikker
fremtid. I Norge bor titusenvis av mennesker som vet hvordan dette
kjennes på kroppen og i sjelen. I Sniper’s Lake forsøker Spitfire Company
å komme i kontakt med denne redselen, denne opplevelsen av å løpe med
håp om et bedre og tryggere liv. Med norske og tsjekkiske dansere trer
de ydmykt frem i dette følsomme terrenget. Forestillingen iscenesettes
i en av de gamle Peterson fabrikkbygningene på Verket, for å sette
forestillingen, og publikum, i et annet kontekstuelt forhold til tematikken.
Publikum deles i to, hvorav halvparten ser forestillingen fra perspektivet
til en snikskytter, og de resterende plasseres i skytterens siktlinje sammen
med danserne. Det blir en eksperimentell bruk av lokalet for å forsterke
forståelsen for situasjoner i vår samtid.
What is it like to flee for your life? An endless sprint toward an uncertain
future? There are thousands of people living in Norway who know how
this feels in their bodies and souls. In Sniper’s Lake Spitfire Company
endeavors to come in contact with this fear, this experience of running
with hope for a better and safer life. The performance will be presented
in one of the former Peterson factory buildings. The extreme choice
of staging will place the performance and the audience in a different
contextual relationship. Use of radically divided levels will offer some
spectators the perspective of the sniper, while others will find themselves
in the line of fire.

IN SITU 2015 —— 3
Welcoming
remarks
It is with enthusiasm and
curiosity that I welcome you to
the first edition of Scenekunst
Østfold’s IN SITU Focus. We
begin with the very broad
stroke of Strategies for Art
in the Public Realm. This
encompasses several rich
and complex themes. We will
not come close to exhausting
them, but will rather initiate
dialogues within the regional
context of Østfold that may be
continued during the years to
come. This also provides an
opportunity to introduce the
IN SITU network to a broader
spectrum of audiences,
artists, and cultural operators.
We are very fortunate to have
the participation of artistic
directors from four IN SITU
members. With support from
the IN SITU Platform they will
share their experiences and
methods, examining creative
processes for producing
and presenting art in the
public contexts of urban and
industrial settings as well as
the natural landscape. They
4 —— IN SITU 2015
will also help us to identify
possibilities within our own
region. In Moss, as in much
of Norway, these radically
different environments are
found in near proximity.
Our featured IN SITU artist
is the French collective G.
Bistaki, who will present
their newest work, The Baïna
Trampa Fritz Fallen, at Verket,
the former paper factory that
will be host to several Focus
productions. We will also
discuss future projects of
IN SITU artists Kitt Johnson
and Lundahl & Seitl. These
will be complimented by
variety of productions and
conversations that explore
divergent aspects of sitebased art that addresses
itself to public space(s) of
differing character.
A significant part of this
Focus program will be devoted
to the question of whether
Verket Moss could be home to
Norway’s first National Center
for Creation of Art in Public
Space. The requirements
and success factors for a
residency center of this kind
are very different from that
of a conventional performing
arts venue. Through dialogues,
site-visits, and a dynamic
combination of artistic
occupations we will explore
the possibilities in such an
enterprise.
The artistic programme for
this Focus is made possible
through cooperation with
NonStop International
Theatre Festival, Momentum
8 - Nordic Biennial of
Contemporary Art, and Verket
Moss. Financial support for
these productions is provided
by the municipality of Moss,
the county of Østfold, Arts
Council Norway, EEA Grants,
and the Creative Europe
programme of the European
Union. It is a privilege to select
productions from NonStop
festival and Momentum
8 that illustrate different
approaches to this way of
working and I hope you will
find the experience rewarding.
Enjoy!

Velkommen
Det er med entusiasme og
forventning at jeg ønsker
velkommen til den første
utgave av Scenekunst
Østfolds IN SITU Fokus. Vi
begynner med en rik palett
av strategier for kunst i
det offentlige rom. Dette
omfavner flere komplekse
temaer. Vi kommer ikke til
å utdebattere disse, men
heller etablere dialoger innen
den regionale konteksten av
Østfold som kan fortsette i
årene fremover. Dette gir også
anledning til å introdusere
nettverket IN SITU til et
bredere publikum, kunstnere
og kulturfagpersoner.
Vi er så heldige at fire
kunstneriske ledere fra fire IN
SITU-medlemsorganisasjoner
deltar. Med støtte fra IN
SITU Europeiske Platform
vil de formidle erfaringer
og metoder, og undersøke
kreative prosesser for
produksjon og formidling av
kunst i offentlige kontekster
av byrom og industrilokaler,
samt naturlanskapet. Denne
deltagelsen vil også hjelpe
oss å se muligheter i vår
6 —— IN SITU 2015
egen region. I Moss, som ofte
ellers i Norge, lever radikalt
forskjellige miljøer i nær
avstand til hverandre.
Vår hoved IN SITU-kunstner
er det franske ensemble
G. Bistaki. De skal vise
deres nyeste performanceinstallasjon, The Baïna
Trampa Fritz Fallen, på
Verket, den tidligere Peterson
papirfabrikk som også er
vertskap for flere IN SITU
Fokus produksjoner. Vi vil
få presentert fremtidige
prosjekter av IN SITUkunstnere Kitt Johnson,
og Lundahl & Seitl. Disse
blir fulgt av et mangfold av
produksjoner og samtaler
som utforsker vidt forskjellige
egenskaper av stedsbasert
kunst i offentlige rom av
varierende karakter.
En vesentlig del av
programmet omhandler
spørsmålet om hvorvidt
Verket Moss kan være hjem
til Norges første nasjonale
senter for produksjon av
kunst i det offentlige rom.
Kravene og suksessfaktorene
til denne form for
residenssenter er veldig
annerledes enn et teater
eller et kulturhus. Gjennom
dialoger, befaringer og en
dynamisk sammensetting av
kunstneriske okkupasjoner
skal vi undersøke mulighetene
som ligger i et slikt initiativ.
Det kunstneriske IN SITU
Fokus-programmet er mulig
gjennom et samarbeid
med NonStop International
Theatre Festival, Momentum
8 - Nordiske biennial for
samtidskunst, og Verket
Moss. Økonomiske støtte
for produksjonene kommer
fra Moss kommune, Østfold
fylkeskommune, Norsk
kulturråd, EEA Grants og
Kreativt Europa-programmet
av Det europeiske union.
Det er et privilegium å velge
produksjoner fra NonStop
festivalen og Momentum
8 som illustrerer ulike
tilnærminger til denne form
for kunstneriske arbeid og jeg
ønsker dere en rik opplevelse.
God fornøyelse!

IN SITU
IN SITU European Network for Artistic Creation in
Public Space was selected as one of the first European
Platforms to receive the support of the Creative Europe
program of the European Union. Established in 2003
and coordinated by Lieux Publics in Marseille, France,
the network has 21 members in 14 countries.
The membership represents a diverse cross-section
of practices and intentions, operating in widely
divergent contexts from large cities to small towns,
industrial environments to natural landscapes. The
primary actions of IN SITU include co-production
and circulation of artistic works, hothouses and
laboratories to identify emerging artists and develop
new ideas, professional seminars, residencies, and
communication.
www.in-situ.info
12 —— IN SITU 2015
Emerging
Spaces
IN SITU is dedicated to
identifying emerging artists,
ideas for new artistic
projects, and fostering the
development of both. In order
to facilitate these ambitions
IN SITU organizes artistic
seminars and laboratories,
and will focus increasingly
on innovative residency
models during the coming
years. These nurture the
entire creative process from
germinal idea to adaptive
interventions.
Emerging Spaces and
Writing Side by Side are a
series of artistic seminars
that bring together artists
and artistic programmers.
These gatherings recognize
the close partnership that is
required when producing and
presenting site-based artistic
works. During these seminars,
each artistic programmer
presents one artist, who again
presents one new idea that
is still in its developmental
phase. These are then
systematically workshoped
by all present over the course
of several days together
in an isolated location. It
should be noted that there
are no obligations to realize
the ideas presented, which
contributes to genuinely open
investigations. Yet a great
many IN SITU productions
have grown out of the work
done during these seminars.
Three examples of this
process will be presented,
in three different stages of
development, as part of the
Focus programme. Florent
Bergal of G. Bistaki was
presented by Daniel Andrieu
of L’Atalier 231 at the Writing
Side by Side seminar in
Stirling, Scotland in 2014,
where he shared the plans for
The Baïna Trampa Fritz Fallen.
Kitt Johnson was presented
during the same seminar
by Trevor Davies of KIT
(Københavns Internationale
Teater). A local version of
her project Mellemrum has
been commissioned by
Scenekunst Østfold for Moss
during NonStop International
Theatre Festival in 2016.
cooperation with Momentum
8, to present the germinal idea
for Journey to the Center of
the Earth during the Emerging
Spaces seminar earlier this
year at La Venaria Reale in
Italy. This idea builds upon
the work Lundahl & Seitl have
been doing with Symphony
of a Missing Room, which is
available for experiencing
during the Focus programme
as part of Momentum
8 - Nordic Biennial for
Contemporary Art. The
prospect for a co-production
within the network is currently
under discussion.
During the coming years,
IN SITU will move toward
a sequence of seminar
and laboratory activities,
whereby the first stage is
the exploration of new ideas,
the second stage is intensive
project development in small
groups, the third stage is a
series of residencies, and the
final stage is circulation of the
produced works. The precise
nature of project development
will be tailored to the needs
of the artists and partners
involved.

Lundahl &
SeitlSE - Siting
Work in the
Cognitive
Realm
The artist duo Lundahl & Seitl
offer an alternative per­
spective on site-based artistic
works. Their per­for­mances
provoke us to examine the
nature of our per­ceptions by
siting the work in the cognitive
mechanisms of the spectatorparticipants. This brings
about a co-authorship of
the work as the partici­pants’
sub­conscious project indi­
vidualized content into their
experience of the external
site.
Symphony of a Missing Room
is a guided museum tour
where the visitors depart
on both a collective and an
extremely personal journey.
Via wireless headphones, a
voice takes visitors, led by
performers, on an itinerary
that traverses layers of
physical and imaginary archi­
tecture of the museum and its
83 —— IN SITU 2015
curatorial space. By the use
of multi-sensory illusions and
binaural sound recordings the
visitor’s attention is steered
away from the visible and
tangible world and diverted
into a new perception of the
self, time and space.
The commission for
Momentum 8 is an adaptation
of this work. It is a composite
artwork reflecting the mus­e­
um as a phenomenon. Always
responding to its current
host, this version turns its
gaze inwards and looks back
at itself. The blind­folding
goggles deprive direct visual
observation and thus prompt
visitors to reconsider past
events from lived experience,
from their body memory, into
a personal projection of their
present surroundings.
In March, Scenekunst Østfold
curator/producer James
Moore invited Christer
Lundahl to the IN SITU
Emerging Spaces artistic
seminar organized by
Consorzio La Venaria Reale in
Italy. The loose theme for the
seminar was Site-sensitive
works for public space. The
invitation to Lundahl & Seitl
was to develop a new idea
that would continue their
exploration of cognitive
processes by extending the
experience into a landscape
context.
This resulted in the concept
for Journey to the Center of
the Earth (working title), a
collaboration between artists
Martina Seitl and Christer
Lundahl, a geologist, a
future forecasting company,
environmental specialist and
a neurologist investigating
perception of time. There
exists a disconnection
between human and geo­
logical time. Humans have
trouble visualizing time
inter­vals that are larger than
their life span. Geological
time is unseen, un-perceived
and unfelt by humans. This is
‘the experience gap’. Lundahl
& Seitl will attempt to bring
visitors into a state of mind,
an experience where they
can more easily visualize
and physically understand
geo­logical time. Using their
previous methods (such
as choreo­graphed touch,
3D sound, site-specific
recordings, and suggestive
instructions), they will
experiment with extending
these into the landscape.

Le G. BistakiFR
- Featured IN
SITU Artist
The French collective G.
Bistaki is a choreographic
and investigative circus
whose work adapts itself
uniquely to the physical and
social features of the space it
occupies. Based in Toulouse,
France, G. Bistaki emerged by
chance rather than design,
growing from a need to
experiment with alternative
methods for creative
development and expression.
Their initial gatherings were
intended as playful relief
and free experimentation
in between other projects.
Yet from this emerged a
distinctive style of work
combining the plastic and the
performative in a charismatic
manner of presentation.
G. Bistaki’s work is formed
around the concept of
continuous exploitation of a
given object by the body in a
given space. The environment,
whether indoor or outdoor,
urban or rural, is their stage.
As every meeting is unique,
the work consists of modular
81 —— IN SITU 2015
scenarios whose composition
is tailored in response to the
site(s). Their scenographic
designs are the product of a
plastic installation in-situ,
depicting a surreal world in a
common place.
The primary mode of
expression grows out of
the triangular relationship
of body-object-space. The
body becomes the motor for
research and expression,
as the performers integrate
strategies of circus, with its
quest for the impossible,
dance and its virtuosity, and
physical theatre for its power
of conveying emotions. The
use of objects as elements for
costumes impacts character
development while expressing
obscure intentions and
influencing behaviour. Video,
sound and lighting are also
integral elements that further
shape and define the work.
Cooperatzia (The Trail) was
the first artistic intervention
presented by Scenekunst
Østfold as a member of IN
SITU. This was a large-scale
occupation of Verket, the
decommissioned Peterson
paper factory in Moss, and
was featured during NonStop
International Theatre Festival
in September 2014. A select­
ion of excerpts was later
presented by Scenekunst
Østfold during the European
Heritage Awards at Oslo City
Hall in June 2015. Since its
inception, Cooperatzia has
been staged more than a
hundred times in 15 countries.
G. Bistaki’s newest work, The
Baïna Trampa Fritz Fallen
is featured in NonStop
International Theatre festival,
and a central component
of Scenekunst Østfold’s IN
SITU Focus program. This
time Bistaki will animate a
completely different area of
Verket, further demonstrating
how both artists and sites can
inform and define each other
through their encounters.
As with Cooperatzia, Bistaki
will again lead several days
of workshops with local
amateurs, integrating them
into the performance as living
tableaux.

Kitt JohnsonDK
– Mellemrum
Scenekunst Østfold has
commissioned Kitt Johnson
to lead the creation of a
Mellemrum Encounter,
which will be presented
as an IN SITU production
during NonStop International
Theatre Festival in 2016.
The Mellemrum Encounter
concept springs from the sitespecific Mellemrum Festival,
a biennale that Kitt Johnson
arranged and curated four
times between 2008 and 2014
in various neighbourhoods of
Copenhagen. This is a process
whereby Kitt enters into close
collaborations with local and
international artists, creating
local miniature performance
festivals consisting of
guided urban walks and
site-specific performances.
Each walk consists of three
performances in which
the artists give their own
interpretation of a personally
selected site.
The idea of Mellemrum
encounter is, among other
things, to offer a space
18 —— IN SITU 2015
and a platform for artistic
exchange. Furthermore, the
activities are locally rooted
and created in close dialogue
with the residents of the
selected area. The concept
is characterised by a high
degree of reciprocity and
curiosity, both artistically and
culturally, and the purpose is
not merely to produce art but
also to facilitate encounters
between artists as well as
between artists and residents.
The results take the shape of
highly unusual urban walks,
during which the audience
experiences a part of the
city or local area from novel
angles. The Mellemrum guides
lead the audience through
hidden and forgotten, known
and unknown places. This
enables both the audience
and local residents a
chance to experience their
surroundings through a
performative lens – and
possibly to rediscover the
extraordinary in the ordinary.
will get to know the local
area and participate in the
selection of local artists. Then
Kitt uses various methods
– laboratories, workshops,
masterclasses, etc. – to work
deep into the site-specific
with the selected artists.
In
the final phase the creation
is a cooperation between Kitt
and the artists.
The Østfold project consists of
4 phases:
1) Sept 2015: site-visits and
meeting with local artists
2) Oct 2015: 1 week of
research in Moss
3) May 2015: 2-week lab, local
and international artists
4) Sept 2016: Presentation of
Mellemrum Encounter

No two Mellemrum
encounters are the same, as
the form and content will be
adapted to local needs and
conditions. There will always
be, however, an introductory
research phase, where Kitt

Spitfire
CompanyCZ
- A Trilogy in
Three Sites
Spitfire Company is one of the
most progressive ensembles
in the Czech Republic,
creating challenging and
innovative physical, visual and
dance theatre. Their work is
characterized by a search for
an original physical language,
which is formed in relation
to the thematics for each
performance. This frequently
takes the form of a condition
that arises while confronting
human’s limitations in
demanding, existential
situations. In 2014 Spitfire
Company was selected as
one of the Aerowaves Twenty,
a prestigious recognition of
the most promising emerging
choreographers in Europe.
Supported by EEA Grants/
Norway Grants, and in
cooperation with NonStop
International Theatre
Festival, Gallery F15, and
Verket Moss, we are able to
stage three of the company’s
performances in unique,
77 —— IN SITU 2015
site-sensitive contexts.
The performances form a
trilogy that explores human’s
reactions to traumatic life
situations. By using carefully
selected locations we seek to
underscore the conceptual
intentions that lie in each
work. This includes both the
physical characteristics of the
site as well as the relationship
between performance and
audience. Through this we
hope to provide more nuanced
insight into the company’s
challenging, experimental
work.
Animal Exitus will be staged
in the baroque-styled garden
of Gallery F15 on the Alby
Estate. One Step Before the
Fall and Sniper’s Lake will
both be presented at Verket,
though in different buildings
of the former paper factory.
Together they will offer
diverse examples of how
artistic works created for the
theatre can find new layers of
meaning and associations in
their encounter with sites that
have histories and intentions
of their own.

Circus
Det lille mekaniske loppe
sirkuset is a recently
established ensemble under
the artistic leadership of
director Rudi Skotheim
JensenNO. Elven & Havet (The
River and the Sea) will be a
family performance employing
circus as the primary
expression. The ensemble is
taking its inspiration from
the Norwegian maritime
atmosphere, the stories and
materials used in life by the
water. From this they will
22 —— IN SITU 2015
embark on creative research
into the absurd. They will offer
the audience a visual journey
into play and fantasy as they
somersault into an old and
robust culture of fishermen
and sails.
Elven & Havet is a coproduction with Scenekunst
Østfold and Bærum kulturhus,
and will be presented at
NonStop International
Theatre Festival in 2016.
A weeklong Scratch
laboratory was facilitated by
Scenekunst Østfold in June
of 2015. Together with aerial
acrobat Karoline AamåsNO
and scenografer Camilla
Wexels RiserNO, Jensen
experimented with materials
and techniques. They will
present a short, site-sensitive
adaptation of this work during
the tour of Verket on Friday.
Jensen comes from Saltnes
in Østfold. He is educated
as a director at the circus
school ESAC in Belgium,
and further educated at
Norwegian Theatre Academy
in Fredrikstad. He has
produced and toured his work
internationally, including
Theatre Works in Singapore,
Kwai Tsing Theatre in Hong
Kong, Ignite Dance festival
in India, along with Dansens
Hus in Copenhagen, Oslo and
Stockholm.
Dicsussions of art in the
public realm frequently lead
to questions about how to
dilineate public space. There
are questions regarding
access and ownership,
circumstances whereby the
private is (temporarily) made
public, and situations where
assembly of groups of people
in ‘public’ are forbidden.
The rise of the internet,
‘smart’ phones, social media,
and other information
technologies introduce
different yet related questions
about where the boundaries
lie between the private and
the public. Indeed, we may
speculate whether many
individuals are the slightest
bit aware of these boundaries
and their occasional
elusiveness. The Momentum
8 project Paranoia touches
upon some of these themes
in the spirit of a game; albeit
one with profoundly serious
implications.
Commissioned by Momentum
8, Valia Fetisov, in cooperation
with Dzina Zhuk and Nicolay
Spesivtsev, has developed
an application that visitors
can download on their mobile
phones, allowing them to
follow or “trace” another
visitor and in turn being
followed themselves by
others. The project Paranoia
is a social-psychology
experiment in the form of
mobile application and
algorithm of users’ interaction.
The application lets visitors
explore feelings of paranoia
and the uncertainty whether
someone is actually watching
their moves or not. The work
touches upon conspiracy
theories and the recent
surveillance and data storing
scandals by agencies such
as NSA. To take part in the
experiment you need to install
this application on your
mobile phone. Every installed
application leaks geolocation
data of registered user and
sends this information to
another user that is chosen
by algorithm. Thus all
participants know from the
very beginning that someone
may be pursuing them.

Kees LesiusNL
Artistic Director, Terschellings
Oerol Festival
After graduating from the
Academy of Visual Arts, Kees
Lesius’ (born in Rotterdam in
1957) interest in working in the
public space leads him to initiate
several arts manifestations and
a multidisciplinary arts festival
(Hof van Spektakel). Kees is
now Artistic Director of the
Terschellings Oerol Festival.
Terschellings Oerol Festival is
an annual site-specific theatre
festival held on the Dutch
island Terschelling in mid-June.
Site-specific theatre, theatre
in barns, sheds and on the
streets, modern dance, opera,
visual art, music and the various
crossovers are the ingredients
of a festival that uses the whole
island as its stage. Over the
past 30 years, the festival has
grown from a small-scale street
festival into an internationally
valued, multi-disciplinary
festival. The development of
new work focuses principally
on theatre-makers and artists,
both from the Netherlands and
abroad: residencies for writing
and creating new performances,
co- productions and a workshop
on site-specific theatre for
young artists.

Dancer and choreographer Kitt
Johnson is one of a kind on the

scene. For more than twenty-five
years she has been developing
her own, very particular,
artistic universe; a universe

Lundahl & SeitlSE
Artist duo
Christer Lundahl (then a
visual artist) formed Lundahl
& Seitl in 2003 with Martina
Seitl (then a choreographer).
Their partnership is a transdisciplinary collaboration that
investigates the audience’s
perception as the central focus
of an artwork. Lundahl & Seitl’s
projects epitomize a recent
trend in artistic exploration
that breaks down the perceived
barriers between ‘doing and
observing,’ conceiving innovative
events that play upon the
consciousness and perceptions
of the audience. Each project
is specific to a particular place
and situation, investigating
history, time, space and human
perception. Lundahl & Seitl aim
to integrate the disciplines of
science, performance and visual
arts by creating situations for
joint enquiry.
In 2009 the duo were recipients
of the Stockholm Art Prize
for their work, Symphony of a
Missing Room, exhibited at the
National Museum of Sweden
and commissioned by Weld. They
were awarded the Birgit Cullberg
Stipend in 2010 as well as the
Montblanc Young Directors
Award and Edstrandska Stipend
for Contemporary Art – both in
2011. Their works have been
presented in a variety of arenas,
including Bern Biennial, Royal
Academy of Arts in London,
S.M.A.K. in Ghent, Avignon
Festival, Hamburger Kunsthalle
(commissioned by Kampnagel),
and the Steinway Piano
Showroom in London.

Pierre SauvageotFR
Artistic Director, Lieux Publics
Read Le Monde in his cradle,
grew up du- ring the Algerian
War, discovered politics
and music at the same time
as everyone else, horsed
around in the corridors of
the Sorbonne, swapped
pamphlets for brass, plunged
into the world of sound,
handled noise-making
machines, harmonised
mopeds, chimed audiences,
became director and invent
original artistic acts open
to everybody for the public
space.
Lieux Publics is a production
centre under the direction of
an artist: Pierre Sauvageot,
composer and inventor of
artistic objects for public
space. Lieux publics
coordinates the IN SITU
European network and its
META 2011-2016 - a tailormade accompaniment to
artistic creation in public
space - and Platform 2014 2017 projects in collaboration
with 18 partners hailing from
13 European countries.
Lieux publics is Remueméninges where the troupes
write their new projects;
30 —— IN SITU 2015
the scenography workshop
and sound creation studio;
accompaniment for artists
from every discipline who
make the city the place, object
and subject of their works.
Lieux Publics is “Sirènes
et Midi net” on the first
Wednesday of every month:
works commissioned from
artists; transient participatory
interventions; development
of new relations with the
audiences in Marseille and
throughout the region.
Lieux publics is a
participation in the Carnets
de rue collection from
L’Entretemps; an annual
magazine with the French
review Les Inrockuptibles
(in collaboration with the
members of the IN SITU
network); a means of
prospecting new relationships
between art and the city.
Strongly committed to the
European framework and
constantly renewing its view
of public space as a creation
site, Lieux publics curated
“Champ harmonique” and
“Métamorphoses” in 2013,
which transformed Marseilles
into a wide playground open
to artists and in- habitants
alike throughout three main
sites in the city centre, with
Marseille-Provence 2013
European Capital of Culture.
It hosted about 120 000
spectators.
In 2014, Lieux Publics
organised 10 European
performances-walks during
the Travellings festival in
Marseille, and, with the
participation of over 200
volunteers, transformed the
city in a gigantic domino
course made out of 8000
concrete blocks.

Artistic Director, La Strada
festival
Werner Schrempf
founded the company „die
ORGANISATION“ and has
acted in the capacity of
creative head and managing
director. Its core competence
is in the conception and
implementation of cultural
event and exhibition design
from planning and budgeting
to communication and overall
production management. In
1998 Schrempf designed and
developed the international
festival “La Strada” in
Graz. Street art, puppet
theatre, cirque nouveau
and community art form
today‘s programme content.
Since 2008, Werner and
his team also organizes
the winter festival “Cirque
Noël,” staging and coproducing contemporary
and unconventional cirque
nouveau projects. He is also
a founding member and coorganiser of the international
network IN SITU. Since 2012,
Werner Schrempf is a member

August for a period of nine
days since 1998 and has
140,000 spectators annually.
It is the only festival in Austria
that collaborates with artists
of international renown who
seek new forms of expression
outside established theatre.
During La Strada, questions of
co-existence and cooperation,
of migration and integration,
are all handled with great
intensity and intellectual
rigour on the performance
level. Here it is not about clear
artistic statements but rather
the illustration of the long-
since complete permeation
and interweaving of cultures
and cultural expression in
Europe. The festival helps
innovative productions and
Austrian artists to develope
their projects on the panEuropean festival scene.

Yvonne Wiche LevinsenCH
Artist
Wiche Levinsen creates
physical theatre that focuses
on a visual aesthetic with a
precise, stylized, physical
language. The dramatic
characteristics are found in
the body’s interaction with
scenic objects. Stories unfold
in the border between theatre
and dance, where scenic
elements come to life in the
meeting with the performer.
This contributes to abstract
situations with their own logic,
tragicomedy, and challenges.
Wiche Levinsen is currently in
the advanced studies program
for Stage Arts in Public Space
at Oslo National Academy of

Dagen Derpå with G. Bistaki
Dagen Derpå is a Norwegian expression that roughly translates to The Morning After. This is
a concept appropriated from Lofoten International Theatre Festival whereby an artist that
performed the night before is the featured guest for an open conversation. G. Bistaki will discuss
their creative process, their latest work, and their experiences with creative residencies at
many of France’s national centers. As this is the second time that G. Bistaki is adapting their
work at Verket, they will share their reflections about how Verket might be able to function as a
residency center for art in public space.
moowex - Uncertain Facts and Illogical Constructions
moowex is an artist duo formed by Camilla Wexels Riser and James Moore. They create
immersive installations that are unique to the site they occupy, which becomes the source of
a process-based work. Akershus kunstsenter has invited moowex to create an installation in
several rooms in the cellar, which is normally closed to the public. Originally built as a residence
for teachers, the building also served as police station before becoming an art center. For this
installation moowex are collaborating with sound artist Morten Pettersen. IN SITU Focus guests
are invited to a work-in-progress presentation of the installation which will be open to the public
25. September to 25. October 2015.

Verket Moss
Verket has a rich and varied
history as one of Moss’
cornerstone companies for
more than three centuries.
First established in 1704
as a timber mill, it was to
operate primarily as iron
works until 1875. Then it was
transformed into M. Peterson
& Søn, initially producing
sulfate cellulose, and paper
from 1896 until bankruptcy
in 2012. Höegh Eiendom now
owns Verket’s entire area of
268.000m2, with 1.5km of
coastline along Oslofjord,
leading one of Norway’s
largest urban development
projects. Verket Arena and
Verket Scene are two current
initiatives that facilitate a
broad spectrum of cultural
activities.
Punkt Ø - Gallery F15
One of Norway’s oldest art
institutions presenting
contemporary art, Gallery
F15 was established in 1966.
The name derives from the
address 15 Fossen, the
gallery’s first locale. A year
later the roof blew off the old
mill building and the gallery
moved to Alby Estate, the
oldest farm on the peninsula
of Jeløy with roots dating
back to the early Viking era.
In recent years, Gallery F15
has developed a profile of
exhibitions that emphasize
Norwegian, Nordic and
International contemporary
art, but that also includes
contributions of works of
more traditional visual arts.
