In Balls by Odd Johan Fritzøe four big balls supplied an independent source of sound created by noise artist Hild Tafjord. Two young breakers moved together with the two male contemporary dancers in a chamber play about the unbearable lightness and the comfortably heavy. They created a non-competitive scenery amongst men playing with balls. Balls was made especially for touring secondary schools.
Balls by Odd Johan Fritzøe opened during Oslo International Dance Festival of 2007: Four big sound balls rolled and were thrown between the four male dancers.
