Sound, instrument and voice is often a tool in a performance and we are interested in focusing our attention on what sound, or silence, that is created in a performance. How do artists work with voice, recordings, instruments and objects? How is silence used? And how are these opposites combined? How do we hear a performance?
By focusing on sound we are also focusing on the silence and the collective and active concentrated deep listening that is often created in a performance. How do we listen to each other? What is sound? How do we perceive silence?
In today’s society we are overstimulated by voices and opinions, and have the possibility to voice our own opinions on various platforms such as social media. At the same time there are many places where artistic voice and expression is still in a precarious situation, which is often linked to general political tensions. How loud do we have to shout to be heard? When does silence become louder?
We have invited artists that challenge and explore these aspects in various ways in their work.

Artist talks: Artists are invited to hold short performative presentations of their work and approach to performance. After the talks we open for dialogue with questions and answers between the artists and the public.
Exhibition / Video program: We will show photography by festival photographer Bjarte Bjørkum (NO) and 3 video programs from artists: Lee Wen (SG),
Nyugen E. Smith (USA/TH/TT) and Susana Pilar Delahante Matienzo (CU).
