Tangent

In the Passage Nord catalogue the following is written about Tangent:

"A production based on interviews with young Bosnian men, seeking asylum in Norway. All six of them describe a room in their home country in detail, a room that is left, destroyed or occupied by others. Furniture, objects, colours, the view from the windows and so on, all lost.

The texts are edited into five-six minutes from hour-long interviews. The audience visits each Bosnian for himself, hearing the texts through loudspeakers, while the performers build installations. None of the performers have any stage experience. They build new rooms in a new country, Norway.

The rooms they build comment on their situation, but at the same time they are visual art expressions, pretty abstract in shape. In two rooms there are automatic instruments, four pianos and a drum. The musicians are gone, but the instruments keep playing."
