I remember our talks, you said: 111 00:08:25,866 --> 00:08:32,414 "Stop caring about what you believe the casting agent wants. Do your thing!" 112 00:08:32,452 --> 00:08:34,526 I said that? 113 00:08:34,564 --> 00:08:37,559 He's gotten old. Still handsome, though. 114 00:08:37,598 --> 00:08:41,438 - Pity he's not staying in our hotel. - Do you know where he's staying? 115 00:08:41,975 --> 00:08:47,966 I actually prefer Jo Nesbø. He's so rough and rugged. 116 00:08:48,004 --> 00:08:51,652 - And his books are so cool. - Right. 117 00:08:51,690 --> 00:08:55,511 Karl-Ove is more a man of today, in my opinion. 118 00:08:55,550 --> 00:09:00,311 Lars Vaular has written a commission work: "The Lord's Henchmen". 119 00:09:00,350 --> 00:09:05,054 Look into your innermost self. Don't search. Just find. 120 00:09:05,092 --> 00:09:11,025 Let the right come in. Whatever it is, it will turn out to be. 121 00:09:11,063 --> 00:09:13,770 We are difficult to love. 122 00:09:13,809 --> 00:09:17,918 - No more spray. - Just a little. Get your crew cut going. 123 00:09:18,436 --> 00:09:22,718 - Aren't you going out? - I'm cool enough as I am. 124 00:09:23,236 --> 00:09:29,150 I guess you'll be hanging out with Mattis and those guys again tonight? 125 00:09:29,188 --> 00:09:33,930 I thought I'd give you some time off, and have a look around 126 00:09:33,969 --> 00:09:36,646 while you're hanging out with the actors. 127 00:09:36,670 --> 00:09:38,634 Sounds good. We'll text later. 128 00:09:38,673 --> 00:09:42,436 So what you're saying, is that having money is good. Why film? 129 00:09:42,474 --> 00:09:45,476 I read an early essay by Knausgård where he 130 00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:48,388 claims that literature is the only medium 131 00:09:48,426 --> 00:09:54,244 with the potential of accurately describing the processes of the soul. 132 00:09:54,282 --> 00:09:56,318 And I wanted to challenge that. 133 00:09:56,836 --> 00:10:03,575 We have to also be mindful of not becoming too navlebeskuende. 134 00:10:03,614 --> 00:10:07,799 Of becoming too egocentric about ourselves as creators. 135 00:10:35,255 --> 00:10:38,442 - Did you ever had your cards read before? - No. 136 00:10:38,481 --> 00:10:41,246 Don't be scared. 137 00:10:49,828 --> 00:10:53,630 This looks bad, and... 138 00:10:53,668 --> 00:10:57,662 It is, and it isn't. Essentially the Tower... 139 00:10:57,700 --> 00:11:02,308 With the way I like to interpret this card, is that it means that 140 00:11:02,346 --> 00:11:07,089 you have needed to make a big decision in your life that you're ignoring. 141 00:11:07,127 --> 00:11:11,946 Which means, you know... If the Tower's on fire, people have to jump out. 142 00:11:11,985 --> 00:11:14,770 You don't have a choice any more. You have 143 00:11:14,794 --> 00:11:17,668 to move forward whether you like it or not. 144 00:11:17,706 --> 00:11:22,372 This is clearly how you feel about it, which is very trapped. 145 00:11:22,410 --> 00:11:24,254 You're not able to see the way out. 146 00:11:24,292 --> 00:11:27,917 You need to pay attention to what you really 147 00:11:27,941 --> 00:11:31,185 want, who you are, to get through this. 148 00:11:31,223 --> 00:11:36,849 Because this is gonna happen whether you like it or not. It's already happening. 149 00:11:36,887 --> 00:11:41,591 Pull three pieces out of here. 150 00:11:44,567 --> 00:11:50,500 It's a crow's foot. It's about omens, about paying attention to messages. 151 00:11:50,538 --> 00:11:56,894 Your foremothers are trying to give you messages, and you're not paying attention. 152 00:11:58,007 --> 00:12:02,001 Stand over here with your arms stretched out. 153 00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:05,008 This is sage. It's used to remove negativity 154 00:12:05,032 --> 00:12:07,492 out of the space and off the person. 155 00:12:30,570 --> 00:12:34,698 For those of you who haven't done it, maybe watch the pairs that have. 156 00:12:35,236 --> 00:12:41,226 If you guys line up this way... And be careful for... Just watch for now. 157 00:12:45,892 --> 00:12:51,844 - Can you face this way, Fabian? - Yeah. 158 00:12:53,668 --> 00:12:57,642 Now you are the shooter, J.P.

Right. 171 00:14:07,505 --> 00:14:10,487 That gives a lot of meaning. 172 00:14:10,526 --> 00:14:17,226 It's very serendipitous that you're here. We need to rehearse with actual participants. 173 00:14:17,265 --> 00:14:18,414 Yeah, that's cool. 174 00:14:18,438 --> 00:14:21,278 Our company is called "The Living Theatre". 175 00:14:21,796 --> 00:14:25,118 - Really? - Yeah.

That's so profound. 191 00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:29,380 THE WHITE INFLAMMATION 192 00:16:00,791 --> 00:16:03,767 What are you up to now, Gry-Jeanette? Or Gritt? 193 00:16:03,806 --> 00:16:07,511 Now I'm working on a ritual. 194 00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:11,562 The aim is to give the paradigm shift we're facing a boost. 195 00:16:11,601 --> 00:16:16,266 To bury the patriarchy and capitalism. And it will culminate in 196 00:16:16,305 --> 00:16:21,815 a human chain around the Oslofjord, everybody dressed in white, holding hands. 197 00:16:21,854 --> 00:16:25,866 I want to visualize the inflammation in our society. 198 00:16:25,905 --> 00:16:29,726 The Arts Council is processing my application right now, so... 199 00:16:29,764 --> 00:16:31,761 That's nice. 200 00:17:04,996 --> 00:17:10,007 As I was going down impassive Rivers, 201 00:17:10,046 --> 00:17:14,078 I no longer felt myself guided by haulers: 202 00:17:14,615 --> 00:17:17,802 Yelping redskins had taken them as targets 203 00:17:17,841 --> 00:17:22,410 And had nailed them naked to colored stakes 204 00:17:22,449 --> 00:17:26,366 The bearer of Flemish wheat or English cottons, 205 00:17:26,404 --> 00:17:30,033 I was indifferent to all crews 206 00:17:30,398 --> 00:17:34,775 When with my haulers this uproar stopped 207 00:17:34,814 --> 00:17:38,596 The Rivers let me go where I wanted 208 00:17:38,903 --> 00:17:45,450 To Rimbaud, art was but a means. He wanted to access something far more violent: 209 00:17:45,489 --> 00:17:47,678 The poem that is life itself. 210 00:17:48,196 --> 00:17:50,914 Most are content with being artists and 211 00:17:50,938 --> 00:17:54,090 cultural workers - life in that comfort zone. 212 00:17:54,129 --> 00:17:59,889 But I think Rimbaud wanted out, and into something far more dangerous: life itself. 213 00:18:04,881 --> 00:18:09,316 There you are! Hi there, Peaches! 214 00:18:17,956 --> 00:18:21,143 - Hi there! - She's been staying at a hotel. 215 00:18:21,182 --> 00:18:24,042 - This looks so cool. - Yeah, it's really nice. 216 00:18:24,081 --> 00:18:28,574 Many have heard about it, but it's too small for most. The body is so short. 217 00:18:33,316 --> 00:18:36,561 Want to go out on the balcony? 218 00:19:45,412 --> 00:19:50,423 Unknown material released when a majority of imaginations meet 219 00:19:50,462 --> 00:19:53,150 and conjure up something more. 220 00:19:53,188 --> 00:19:57,278 A third voice or body. 221 00:19:57,815 --> 00:20:01,339 I wonder if one, as an individual, only has 222 00:20:01,363 --> 00:20:04,670 access to the unknown through intuition. 223 00:20:04,708 --> 00:20:07,434 Which, as we know, is rarely used these days. 224 00:20:07,473 --> 00:20:11,447 Simply because no one knows how to deal with an almost liquid notion. 225 00:20:11,486 --> 00:20:15,422 Those cherries... Were they discontinued? 226 00:20:15,460 --> 00:20:18,340 I think so, if we don't have them. 227 00:20:27,998 --> 00:20:32,798 - I think I'm in a fiction in my life. - You're in a fiction? 228 00:20:33,316 --> 00:20:36,599 I think I'm in a fiction. Alone in my fear. 229 00:20:36,638 --> 00:20:40,382 I hurt alone. Not good. 230 00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:42,321 - Want it? - No, go ahead. 231 00:20:42,378 --> 00:20:45,124 But you see, I can't really... 232 00:20:53,890 --> 00:20:57,634 GRANT LIST Ministry of Culture 233 00:21:15,912 --> 00:21:20,463 - The Arts Council, hello. - Hello.

Please state your name. 240 00:21:37,973 --> 00:21:41,564 - Gry-Jeanette Dahl.- Dahl... 241 00:21:42,773 --> 00:21:45,519 - Oh, but there was no rejection. - What? 242 00:21:45,557 --> 00:21:49,378 - The application was not accepted. - What? 243 00:21:49,416 --> 00:21:55,215 Let's see. Looking at your CV now. Formal education is not a requirement, 244 00:21:55,253 --> 00:21:59,055 but must be compensated for by adequate production experience. 245 00:21:59,093 --> 00:22:01,839 But... 246 00:22:04,008 --> 00:22:06,562 Sorry, I have to... 247 00:22:26,108 --> 00:22:29,621 I'm not looking to get huge muscles. 248 00:22:29,660 --> 00:22:33,653 Just strength, in general. 249 00:22:33,692 --> 00:22:36,591 You're in safe hands. 250 00:22:41,352 --> 00:22:43,311 Strength... 251 00:22:44,252 --> 00:22:48,725 Kick upwards. One, two... 252 00:22:51,740 --> 00:22:53,525 This is easy enough. 253 00:22:53,564 --> 00:22:55,868 Push them together. 254 00:22:58,364 --> 00:23:01,320 - How many kilos? - Just four. 255 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,237 Mental health is a big part of it. 256 00:23:05,276 --> 00:23:10,882 I see that in all the people I have trained for years. 257 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,740 - That you grow stronger mentally? - Let me show you. 258 00:23:15,778 --> 00:23:17,660 It's that part. 259 00:23:19,503 --> 00:23:21,788 What do you do? 260 00:23:22,306 --> 00:23:27,202 I'm an artist. I work on developing rituals. 261 00:23:29,295 --> 00:23:32,148 Right now I have a pretty big project. It'll 262 00:23:32,172 --> 00:23:34,920 be a collective ritual for the whole city. 263 00:23:34,959 --> 00:23:39,816 If that's what you enjoy doing, then that's great. 264 00:23:39,855 --> 00:23:41,871 Is it going ok? 265 00:23:41,909 --> 00:23:46,748 My support network is somewhat lacking. 266 00:23:47,285 --> 00:23:54,293 You have to file applications to the Arts Council. 267 00:23:54,332 --> 00:23:58,824 The thing is, they didn't accept my application. 268 00:23:58,863 --> 00:24:02,664 They told me I did not qualify as an applicant. 269 00:24:02,703 --> 00:24:07,676 - So you were rejected? - In a way, yes. 270 00:24:07,714 --> 00:24:11,439 But, dear... There are... 271 00:24:11,477 --> 00:24:15,413 There are much worse fates. 272 00:24:15,452 --> 00:24:19,004 So you got one rejection. So what? 273 00:24:19,042 --> 00:24:21,810 We live in the best country in the world. 274 00:24:21,834 --> 00:24:23,016 Yes. 275 00:24:23,055 --> 00:24:27,797 I'm not the one saying that. The UN says that. Don't give up! 276 00:24:27,836 --> 00:24:33,461 They're so rigid. It's all about pigeonholing people. 277 00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:36,514 - The Ministry of Culture... - Such a shitty department. 278 00:24:36,552 --> 00:24:38,511 You need to go knocking on their door. 279 00:24:38,549 --> 00:24:44,252 Maybe it was a bit too ambitious. It was a massive project. 280 00:24:44,290 --> 00:24:47,842 With a large budget. Maybe they... 281 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:52,565 That chapter ends now. Let's work out and strengthen you, 282 00:24:52,604 --> 00:24:56,655 - both physically and mentally. - All right. 283 00:24:56,693 --> 00:25:00,591 Listen, life is fleeting. 284 00:25:00,629 --> 00:25:05,218 It will come to an end. Why spend time being disappointed? 285 00:25:05,256 --> 00:25:09,308 Right, and what he sings about is exactly what happened to you. 286 00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:52,508 Hi. I've come to see Lars Øyno, at the Theatre of Cruelty. 287 00:25:55,176 --> 00:25:57,231 Hi! I was recently in New York. 288 00:25:57,269 --> 00:26:00,898 I saw The Living Theatre. Brad says hi. 289 00:26:00,936 --> 00:26:06,620 - Brad Burgess. Do you have a moment? - Sure. 290 00:26:06,658 --> 00:26:08,655 Thank you so much. 291 00:26:08,770 --> 00:26:14,588 I saw Amazonas here a few days ago, and I must say, that was very inspiring. 292 00:26:15,106 --> 00:26:18,159 I especially liked the plastic bag being folded. 293 00:26:18,197 --> 00:26:21,999 - Right. The lady in the opening scene. - Yeah. 294 00:26:23,016 --> 00:26:30,562 The way that sequence lingered. The estrangement of something so trivial... 295 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,540 It's from Poland. 296 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:38,319 The piece is about Poland after the fall of the Berlin Wall. 297 00:26:38,357 --> 00:26:41,218 Before 1990, before the fall, 298 00:26:41,256 --> 00:26:48,168 elderly women often sold plastic bags from the West on the black markets. 299 00:26:48,706 --> 00:26:52,028 They sat there folding them to make them look nice enough to sell. 300 00:26:52,565 --> 00:26:54,773 We throw plastic bags away. They're worthless to us. 301 00:26:54,812 --> 00:26:58,575 But she gives it focus, and cares about that which we throw away. 302 00:26:58,613 --> 00:27:01,271 Suddenly a plastic bag turns into something 303 00:27:01,295 --> 00:27:03,490 very... People get to see what is. 304 00:27:03,528 --> 00:27:05,986 - Or see what isn't. - Yeah? 305 00:27:06,024 --> 00:27:08,981 It's alchemy. 306 00:27:09,922 --> 00:27:13,858 That's some of the reason why I'm here now. 307 00:27:13,896 --> 00:27:16,642 I'm a performance artist myself, 308 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,712 but I never went to the arts academy, like most do. 309 00:27:20,751 --> 00:27:27,279 I went from Romerike drama school to LA, and stayed there for a while. 310 00:27:27,317 --> 00:27:31,272 Then I made some contacts in Berlin, and went a bit back and forth. 311 00:27:31,311 --> 00:27:37,685 But for the most part I've worked with an independent theater group in Aalborg. 312 00:27:37,724 --> 00:27:41,621 - They worked more devised. You know. - Right. 313 00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:44,828 And what I'm doing now, in few words, 314 00:27:45,365 --> 00:27:52,200 is a project that is more like a ritual. Which in a way... 315 00:27:52,239 --> 00:27:57,308 I use this expression that I've coined "The White Inflammation". 316 00:27:57,826 --> 00:28:01,032 Which I believe covers Scandinavia like a veil. 317 00:28:01,071 --> 00:28:05,640 Like a numbness. A drug, almost. 318 00:28:05,679 --> 00:28:10,536 An apathy, an inability to act, a comfort that... 319 00:28:10,575 --> 00:28:14,549 In Artaud's book "The Theatre and its Double", he tells us 320 00:28:14,588 --> 00:28:19,330 that to Asians, the color white is synonymous with decomposition. 321 00:28:19,368 --> 00:28:21,192 - Right! - Plague. 322 00:28:21,231 --> 00:28:24,015 Plague. Well, that makes perfect sense. 323 00:28:24,053 --> 00:28:31,695 The paradigm shift we're currently facing, the inevitable change, can be... 324 00:28:31,733 --> 00:28:37,263 We may experience an instinctive fear and aversion, but what if we rather... 325 00:28:37,301 --> 00:28:40,014 I attempt to create a ritual through which 326 00:28:40,038 --> 00:28:42,965 we instead embrace it, and enter it together. 327 00:28:43,004 --> 00:28:46,037 And that's what brought me here. 328 00:28:46,076 --> 00:28:52,661 Maybe that's something you could be interested in producing? 329 00:28:52,700 --> 00:28:59,535 Sorry, but I don't produce for others. I have more than enough with my own. 330 00:28:59,573 --> 00:29:03,548 I totally get that, but most of the work is done. 331 00:29:04,085 --> 00:29:08,271 It's purely a formality, with regards to the Arts Council. 332 00:29:08,309 --> 00:29:15,068 I will do all the work, but they're a bit rigid with formalities. 333 00:29:20,770 --> 00:29:25,205 For that matter, it could also be worthwhile to me 334 00:29:25,263 --> 00:29:30,216 to get insight into your processes, and how you... 335 00:29:30,255 --> 00:29:37,148 So if you need help with anything here, I could always... 336 00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:58,018 Guys, this is Gritt. She's a performance artist with ties to The Living. 337 00:29:58,056 --> 00:30:00,764 She'll be helping us throughout the play period. 338 00:30:00,802 --> 00:30:02,799 THE CRUELTY 339 00:30:09,404 --> 00:30:15,221 - We've got it now. - Wine? That's rare! 340 00:30:15,260 --> 00:30:19,925 - Was it that good? - Not that it was that good... 341 00:30:19,964 --> 00:30:22,997 - Oh. Thank you! - To you too. 342 00:30:23,036 --> 00:30:24,936 How nice of you. 343 00:30:24,975 --> 00:30:27,778 We don't need to be so quiet by the plastic bag. 344 00:30:27,816 --> 00:30:32,482 It's almost like the actor is overcome with the silence. 345 00:30:32,540 --> 00:30:35,708 Like they feel the need to work quietly with the bag. 346 00:30:36,226 --> 00:30:41,256 That's not necessary. You can counteract the silence by folding the bag vigorously. 347 00:30:41,295 --> 00:30:44,309 You can mix it up. Meticulous at first, but then... 348 00:30:44,348 --> 00:30:48,840 This is anonymous. No actors are on display. 349 00:30:48,879 --> 00:30:53,813 We need to check if there even are any actors down here. 350 00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:57,365 And that is interesting. Such plays are rare indeed, 351 00:30:57,404 --> 00:31:03,164 where you must actively look to see if this is an actual act. 352 00:31:03,202 --> 00:31:07,925 Normally, the actors would display themselves. But that's not the case here. 353 00:31:07,964 --> 00:31:12,168 People wonder why they keep doing this. 354 00:31:12,706 --> 00:31:16,584 The sheer infantility will wear the audience out. 355 00:31:16,623 --> 00:31:20,655 It seems so fucking awful that it becomes kind of a... 356 00:31:20,693 --> 00:31:24,514 But when it goes over the edge, it may get interesting. 357 00:31:24,552 --> 00:31:27,509 Because you don't see adults do those things. 358 00:31:54,965 --> 00:31:57,020 Oh God. 359 00:31:58,133 --> 00:32:00,744 Hi there. 360 00:32:03,989 --> 00:32:05,736 Oh! 361 00:32:13,378 --> 00:32:16,066 - Hi. - Hi. 362 00:32:17,084 --> 00:32:22,248 - You've been traveling all night? - 21 hours in total. 363 00:32:23,208 --> 00:32:28,776 Everything went well. I put him out here. 364 00:32:31,772 --> 00:32:37,493 - Hi there, Peaches! - Look who's home! 365 00:32:40,085 --> 00:32:43,906 - You're allergic to Peaches! - No, no. It's just... 366 00:32:43,944 --> 00:32:47,823 - Yes.
