Marja Gullsko* (Mary Golden Shoes)
Marja Gullsko* (Mary Golden Shoes) by Katma was a fragile, poetic and visual performance about falling in love, betrayal, and about longing to be in another place. It was partly based on a tale by Regine Normann. In Katma's version, God has become a magician and the devil a rock star.
*During former performances, the title has not been translated into English. The title within parentheses is the Norwegian title's literal meaning.
