A performance from St.Petersburg for school children (6-12 years).
The main character of the play is a spoiled and naughty girl. She is stuck in the virtual world and is unable to play or interact with her peers without a game console in her hands. Being punished for his behavior she gets into a mysterious world of silence where no one can hear her moaning and shouting. Meeting with unusual yet kind inhabitants of this world, experiencing fun adventures, the girl learns to be more responsive to others. Realizing that life is much brighter and more interesting than the world of virtual games, she returns home. The story is told through music, movement and dolls with practically no text.
Duration: appr. 50 minutes.
The play runs twice. First at 10:00. Then at 12:00.
Aliens? Disguised dancers? Laboratory assistants facing a chemical disaster?
Kirkenes airport, Høybuktmoen, becomes a site-specific stage when the Swiss performance group Da Motus! explores the heart of the Barents region. Simultaneous movements and gestures despite big distance between the performers question the fact why human beings surround themselves with alienated buildings.
The vivacious plasticity of plant life, the vibrant and breathing quality of animals’ movement and the subtle and sensitive exchange of human relations inspire and stimulate the body language of Da Motus! Their perfomances are eclectic and attest a lively creativity, enriched by a subtle ability to play with the circumstances, on stage as well as out-door in specific sites.
Da Motus! (da!=give, offer! / motus=movement) was founded in 1987 and has performed in more than 200 cities of 43 countries. In 2014, the company receives the Cultural Prize of the Council of Fribourg, in Switzerland.

New market tents with patterns designed by fourteen artists/groups commissioned by Mobile Kultur Byrå.
Join the celebration of the arrival of 14 market tents with individual patterns on the back of them – exclusively designed by artists commissioned by Mobile Kultur Byrå for the Russian Market in Kirkenes!
The Market traders travel from Murmansk once a month to hold the market at Kirkenes Square. If and when the market takes place is dependent on the border regulations and the weather: When the traders are present, if the wind allows, the art will be unpacked and displayed in the heart of town. When they leave, the art will be repacked and once again out of sight.
Contributing artists: Finn Thybo Andersen & Kirsten Dufour, Siri Austeen, Yvette Brackman, Solveig Dufour & Peter Stoffel, Espen Sommer Eide & Kristin Taarnesvik, Geir Tore Holm & Søssa Jørgensen, Ane E Johansen, Joar Nango & Martijn In’t Veld, Annelie Nilsson, Pavel Pepperstein, Glafira Severianova, Ulrike Solbrig, Silje Figenschou Thoresen, and Morten Torgersrud.
