On 26 August 2023, took place the Bergen Performance Festival, Norway.
In this edition, 12 artists from different origins (Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, Norway and Finland) participated in a three-hour action in which we performed together.
We had ten days of laboratory beforehand in which we had the opportunity to get to know each other and share our way of understanding art and more specifically performance art, and in which some collaborations emerged.
In my case, I was lucky enough to work closely with the Finnish artist Maïre Karuvori, with whom we conceived several specific actions under the idea of “resisting and surrendering”, which we carried out during the three hours of performance.
Both the final action and the whole previous process have been a very intense experience, a challenge that has been well worth it. I feel very grateful to have been part of this encounter. Special thanks to Anette Friedrich Johannessen and Marit Tunestveit Dyr.
