Waters - Queendom

COLOR WATER is an autobiographical performance created by three actors with backgrounds from Norway, Uganda and Nigeria. The performance goes to the core of what it means to be human: Who are you really, and how did you become who you are? The actors challenge both themselves and the audience to reflect on roots and identity, growing up and rebellion. In the process, they explode accepted truths and discover new ones. They share colorful and dramatic stories that connect past and present - from the Danish-Norwegian slave ship Fredensborg to the actors' own family stories. At the center of the memories, they find their fathers.

Monica: My dad's name was Ezenwoye. It means king, and he was a king.

Numa: Dad says he was kicked out, mom says he was doing all the women in town. I believe both.

Asta: We didn't get a lap, hugs or presents, it was too far and too expensive, and then we thought that maybe dad had forgotten us.

Farvann is both new Norwegian drama and multicultural Oslo history.
