The foreign land in words and tones
Welcome to the Premiere of the performance:
DET FRAMANDE LANDET I ORD OG BILDER.
A dramatic reading by actor Torstein Andersen together with Håkon M. Johansen on percussion.
Together they perform Carl Frode Tiller's long poem: "The Foreign Land".
What is said about "The Foreign Land":
"A heady battle poem"
"A bubbling, intoxicating poetic debut"
"Tiller uses our ancient Voluspå while taking the pulse of the present"
"The bohemian in the village races through history in a rusty Amazon, and in the car track lies the volva's words to listen in silence. Along the way stand Elvis, Bismarck and Neanderthals. A ghost walks through Europe, and the world must constantly be recreated."
