ASFALTPULS
-Paranoia as hell in the sunset. After texts by M.H.Hallum

Direction and Idea: Mine Nilay Yalcin

"Asphalt pulse - paranoia as hell in the sunset" is a street-art performance about disconnection.
In the performance we meet 5 characters who in their own way experience exclusion and otherness in a big city. Together, as a group, they face life.

Throughout the performance, themes such as media attention, domestic violence, the tyranny of beauty, anxiety and loneliness are recorded 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. In Asphalt Pulse, the city wall lies deserted and abandoned as the gang searches for landmarks, emergency exit signs and points of light in the darkness.

Asphalt Pulse is about friendship, secrets and relentless stories - about finding hope, together - even if it's well hidden behind dismantled walls, holes in the asphalt and dark underpasses.

Actors: Junaid Khan, John Magno Guillermo, Hina Zaidi, Jahanger Ali and Taro Vestøl Cooper.

Supported by Arts Council Norway, the City of Oslo, The Audio Visual Fund, Oslo Teatersenter and Nordic Black Theatre.

Recommended age limit from 12 years.
