Oslo Culture Night: Å LEVE VIDERE - Rimfrost produksjoner
The event is free of charge.
In the monologue performance Å LEVE VIDERE we meet the sister who was on Utøya with her brother. She was 17, he was 23. Her brother never returned home. She lives on, but the experiences from the terrorist attack become traumas that affect every part of her life.
I feel like I'm going to die. Every time.
My heart is pounding, I can't breathe, I just have to get away.
Just because I see a man in a police uniform.
Breathe in, breathe out.
It's not dangerous. There you go, there you go.
It's going well.
Remember how you taught me to breathe like this?
At the same time, she witnesses Norwegian society becoming more polarized, and the perpetrator's extreme views gaining ground in more and more people. Her frustration grows and brings out feelings she has not previously been able to face. She is facing a reckoning.
Welcome to the difficult space. LIVING ON is made by Rimfrost Produksjoner in collaboration with Kloden theatre. The performance is written and directed by Nina Wester based on conversations with a family from Northern Norway who lost one of their own on Utøya. The monologue reflects experiences after the terror, and experiences from the attack that occurred on Utøya. The performance is mainly made for a young audience with no memories of their own from July 22, 2011.
"I go through what happened over and over again for my brain to find a way to understand. Why did it happen? How is it possible? And why was it so quiet afterwards when we promised each other we would never stop shouting?"
