"ROAD CHOICE" by BLE // Antikvariatet

"VEIVALG" by BLE

This is a performance you didn't know you needed to see!
- audience

«VEIVALG» is a genre-crossing folk music/theater performance by the company BLE. On stage is musician Bendik Smedåsgjelten Qvam, and plays everything from bokkehorn and lur, to electric guitar and violin with x number of pedals. Next to him is actor and musician Lisa Luni Thun. Together they tell a story about gentrification of Norwegian nature, cabin developments, old mountain huts, and a deaf grandfather's search for his own "forest tranquility".

This is a warm and humorous performance, which also asks important questions about the choices we make, both on our own behalf, others' and not least - the environment around us. What consequences have they had, what are we left with, where does the road go next, and... where do you go... when these questions pile up, and everything around you suddenly feels a bit "too much"? Is there still peace to be found on that mountaintop far away?

The performance is written and produced by BLE ; a cross-over company that, in terms of genre, is located where traditional folk music meets the electronic landscape, and the old-fashioned verse form meets newly written text that sometimes borders on slam poetry. A new-fashioned tavern concept, if you will, where the overall motto is; "if the mood is good, everything is good".
....and it usually is, no matter where they are.

A warm welcome!
