Are Kalvø has been a comedian for quite a few years. He has lived for many more years. And in all these years there is a conflict that always returns: City versus country.
Such conflicts have created a bad atmosphere as long as Kalvø has lived, in various ways, both in Norway and in other countries: Center versus outskirts. Elite versus people.
The time has come to put these conflicts behind us and instead spend our time solving the big problems in the world.
The time has come to build bridges between city and country. And get this done, once and for all.
And who is a more natural bridge builder than Are Kalvø? He has one leg in each camp. He grew up in the countryside, he lives in the city. He is a big-city lover who writes in Nynorsk and speaks dialect. He can understand and talk to both sides. Maybe even like both sides.
To really get to grips with what such conflicts are about, Kalvø has lived for a month in Europe's largest city, London, a noisy, confusing, self-satisfied and far too large metropolis in the homeland of elite thinking, and for a month in Norway's smallest municipality, Utsira, an island without a mainland connection, with two hundred inhabitants on a good day, and mostly stiff winds.
He has lived with vegans wearing bicycle helmets and fishermen in thermal suits, he has talked about motorbikes and modern dance, he has lost ferries and hope. But he has managed. And he has done it for us.
Now he is back to tell the story. And build bridges. And if that doesn't work, to establish once and for all: Which is best, city or country?
Are Kalvø has written and performed humor and satire in many different ways for many years. He has toured cultural centers in Norway before, and enjoys it very much, with his three solo performances "Kalvø - an hour of life you will never get back" (Komiprisen 2015), "Toppar VG-lista" and "Hyttebok frå helvete", based on the book of the same name, which topped the bestseller lists in Norway for thirty weeks and has been translated into twelve languages. He has also written several other bestselling humor books, such as "Syden", "Harry" and "Bibelen 2".
Are Kalvø is looking forward to finally going on a tour with material that actually deals with absolutely all the places he has visited on the tour.
