A new project takes shape for NOOR productions

After a series of productions about the Middle East, occupied Jerusalem and the refugee-crises, NOOR productions has embarked on a new project called Stilla - en forestilling.
The project deals with the historical material around the protest surrounding the damming up of the Alta river, and the civil disabedience that followed this protest. Connecting it to the growing eco-activism today.
Who owns our natural resources?
And what drives the people that tries to stop humans and capital interfering with the nature that surrounds us?
These are one of the many questions the team wants to take a closer look at as we start researching the project. Actor and director Trond Peter Stamsø Munch manages the project. Tale Næss is headwriter and dramaturg and with us we have actor Bernt Bjørn and Ivar Beddari.
Author and dramaturg Kristin Eriksen Bjørn lends her expertise to the project, as does artist and researcher Kristina Juntila.

Prais for NOOR productions Tale Næss` play "Sweatshop-Aleppo"

The radio-play by NOOR production`s Tale Næss has received prais in the Norwegian media while its been performed by Vega Scene in Oslo.
A strong poetic text with great performative qualities, that brings the suffering far away closer to us - is some of the feedback the text has received.
In her text in the Norwegian Shakespear theatre-magazine Elin Høyland writes visely about the text, the staging and the aftertalk. She states that it is a strong text with a great performative potential. She writes about why the text was written and how it is composed. For those who understand Norwegian, here is a quote:
Hørespillet, skrevet av dramatiker Tale Næss, kom i følge henne selv som følge av en reaksjon på nyhetsstrømmen rundt angrepene på Aleppo og krigen slik den foregikk her, med spørsmål om hvordan vi kan forholde oss til virkeligheten i disse ekstreme situasjonene, og generelt i liv som utspiller seg langt utenfor vår egen virkelighet, og kanskje fatteevne. Basert på en artikkel i The Independent om to søstre som etter sin flukt fra Syria nå sitter i en Sweatshop i Izmir og syr redningsvester til andre flyktninger, fylt av skumgummi – som gjør at de ikke vil flyte – har Næss skrevet en tekst som beveger seg på mange nivåer, mellom drøm og virkelighet, tragedie og hverdagsdrømmer, og ropene, riftene og sammenhengene mellom dem.
Det er en tekst som gjennom poetisk språk og simultane dramaturgiske nivåer kan evne å skape sterke bilder i leseren/lytteren, så vel som en performativ kraft; et rom hvor vi trekkes inn i en eksistensiell desperasjon, og samtidig viser glimt av en mulig utvei, eller kanskje rømningsvei.

The tickets are out for Vega`s production of NOOR productions "Sweatshop - Aleppo"

 
The tickets are awailable through this link: https://vegascene.no/incoming/article1405826.ece
 
Vega Scene Writes:

En redningsvest består av til sammen 48 deler. De setter sammen stoffstykker, glidelås og snorer. De fyller dem med skumgummi. Skumgummi flyter ikke. I går satte de sammen 492 deler – det er 12 vester, det.

           
I SWEATSHOP ALEPPO møter vi tre hjelpearbeidere som leter etter båtflyktninger et sted langs Middelhavet. Mens de venter gjenopplever de historiene til to unge jenter som syr redningsvester på en tekstilfabrikk i Tyrkia, og en sanndrømt gutt som er innesperret av krigen i Syria. Ungdommene drømmer alle om frihet til å være sammen og bevege seg fritt. Om å kunne gjøre helt vanlige ting som å møte den man er forelsket i, eller få vite hvor familien befinner seg.
I SWEATSHOP ALEPPO smelter radioteater, scenetekst, drømmer og musikk sammen til en intim teaterkonsert. Publikum plasseres midt i historieuniverset og sitter sammen med skuespillerne på scenen.
Forestillingen spilles av Espen Løvås, Line Heie Hallem og Hege Aga Edelsteen. Scenografisk konsept er utviklet i samarbeid med Ingvild Rømo Grande, musikken er ved Jo David Lysne, lysdesign ved Stian Linquist og regi ved Katinka Rydin Berge. Sweatshop Aleppo er skrevet av Tale Næss.

Poem for the solidarity consert with Palestine on the 8th of May 2019 titled "three roads"

This poem was performed in Olafshallen in Trondheim, in solidarity With the Palestinian people and the situation for all the inhabitants of Jerusalem right now.
The text is in Norwegian.
 
Mai på tempelhøyden
der byen vokser vilt
til suset fra pinjeskoger
                                             er lyset mildt
reiser vi gjennom tida
Tre veier fører hit
En fra tida før tid
                            smal og dyp
Et
                  
            med flokker av flyktninger, kjerrer, busser, biler
Et barn strekker seg på tå, det har en hund etter seg
Den er blind på begge øyne
En gammel kone bærer en krukke fylt med jord
I den vokser det
                                   Et oliventre
 
Den siste veien begynner ved
