Farvann

With backgrounds from Nigeria, Uganda and Norway, Asta Busingye Lydersen, Monica Ifejilika and Numa Edema Norderhaug have both colorful and dramatic family stories that span generations, continents and oceans. In the periphery and in the center of the memories, they find their fathers.
But what actually happened? What if what they remember is not how it was? Asta, Numa and Monica delve into their memories, the happy and the difficult, and discover the events, people and places that have shaped them. In the process, they blow up established truths and discover new ones.
The performance is based on biographical material and integrates stage text, video and music. Together, the performers challenge their own identity, belonging to Norwegian society and their own artistic boundaries.

I was invited to do video for the performance Farvann. Premiere Vega Scene 2022.

FARVANN is produced by Queendom and SPKRBOX in collaboration with the Nationaltheatret.
