NEW PREMIERE: Fuck it – a sick Norwegian performance – Redhead Productions
“It is typically Norwegian to be good”, said Gro Harlem Brundtland in 1992. But what would Gro say now, –
to a tired, small generation that, rather than feeling like Oddvar Brå, feels like the staff that snapped?
"FUCK IT – a sick Norwegian performance" is the performance where tradition meets modernity. In an explosive encounter between techno and folk music, synth and mouth harp, and bunad and street aesthetics, the uptight halling dancer, Jon, invites the tired punk, Lisa, to dance. Together, the unlikely pair is sent on a hike through the Norwegian "mountains". There they encounter everything from goblins and trolls, to wind farms, oil platforms, gloomy politicians, and existential crises.
As the journey progresses, questions arise; what is really happening in Norway and the world today, and who are we in the grand scheme of things? Was “the Big One” right? Or is the spirit of volunteerism, and the very soul of the people, hanging by a thin, thin thread?
“FUCK IT – a sick Norwegian performance” premiered in the fall of 2024 at Riksscenen, and received good reviews from an audience ranging from 14 to 88 years old. Now it is finally back, and has a new premiere at Kloden theater.
