Launch: Anthology on multilingualism in the performing arts
Address: Storgata 1B, 8006 Bodø, Norway | Event Map | Venue Accessibility
The northern reality is multilingual. In the fjord, villages, on the plains and along the quaysides in the city, communication has taken place in Norwegian, Sami, Finnish, Kven and Russian.
In autumn 2024, Davvi - Centre for Performing Arts will publish an anthology on multilingualism in the performing arts, to reflect the multilingual North. How do you find the right words when your brain and heart work in four different languages? How does working with multiple languages affect stage texts? And how does the monolingual straitjacket from the Norwegianisation policy still impact people and performing arts today?
Speakers:
Tale Næss - dramaturg/ project leader - Davvi - Center for Performance Art, Norway
Aslak Heika Hætta Bjørn - editor of the anthology, Norway
Siri Gaski - Senior Advisor for Sami Bibliography at the National Library, and Chair of the Board for Åarjelhsaemien Teatere, Norway
