With the use of projectors and green screens as both technological and poetic devices, and questioning beginnings/endings, First kiss before anything once is a story of a lonely boy longing to go dancing.
The performance premiered at ‘After School Special’, Bergen Kunsthall, Landmark (NO) during the first lockdown and was realized in a second version with the support of BEK — Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts at ‘Latent City’, Bergen Kjøtt (NO) in November 2020. A third version was performed — with Karmaklubb* — 19 March 2021
in collaboration with Black Box teater during ‘Oslo Internasjonale Teaterfestival — Online & At Home Edition 2021’, streamed from St. James’s Church, Bergen.
