In Klapp! Et blunk og forbi* (Clap! A blink and then gone) by Boa Scenekunst Paal Viken Bakke and Elisabeth Helland Larsen have travelled around the earth, each in their way. They wanted to meet youth and hear about their thoughts on the future.
With a clown’s nose in her suitcase Elisabeth Helland Larsen visited Palestinian refugee camps and school classes in Greenland and Zimbabwe.
The puppeteer Paal Viken Bakke brought the badger Pipp on a motor cycle ride to China. The badger Pipp is very sceptical to the future generation’s abilities and intentions. Can we trust The People of Tomorrow? Klapp! Et blunk og forbi aims to be a thought-provoking as well as action-filled performance.
