Asphalt pulse - paranoia as hell at sunset - Mine Nilay & the gang

The performance is played at 12.00 in Klodenteltet and 15.00 somewhere outdoors in Oslo. Venue to be announced.

In the fall of 2018, Mine Nilay Yalcin and the gang staged the pop-up performance Asfaltpuls - paranoia as hell at sunset at various outdoor locations in Oslo. Now you have the opportunity to experience the performance again, during Kloden i sentrum.

Asfaltpuls is a street-art performance based on texts by Malmfrid Hovsveen Hallum.

The gang: "I shouted! No one came!" The boy: "I looked around for the friends I had let go" Girl: "but they were gone... They too".

Where do you go if all roads look the same? What do you reach for if everything you reach for is moving away from you? And where do you find hope if no one tells you it exists? Throughout the performance, themes such as media attention, alienation, domestic violence, beauty pageantry and loneliness are drawn in the landscape as the characters' own secrets and stories break through the stereotypical surface. The stories are told through poetry, they are taken apart, dismembered and placed back together again. A performance about friendship, secrets and relentless stories - about finding hope, together - even if it is well hidden behind dismantled walls, holes in the asphalt and dark underpasses.

Asphalt Pulse connects to both traditional folk theater and the avant-garde. The total unpredictability adds a hyperactive, yet controlled energy to the performance. - Chris Erichsen, Scenekunst.no
