WEEKEND SUGGESTIONS
Week 7
Winter in Oslo has been mild lately, but if it’s still too cold for you anyway,
the Botanical Gardens offer a warm place at the palm and cactus house!
The Botanical Gardens are open every day of the year and entrance is free
of charge. There is paid parking available or you can also take any metro
line to Tøyen.
Remember that next week is Winter Break (vinterferie) for the schools
in the Oslo area, so it is a good idea to start organising your children’s
activities, in case you still have not done so.
Have a great weekend!

Musikus, Riksscenen, February 19 at 21.00
Towards the end of the 18th century, several fiddle players from the town
of Røros were sent to the city to learn how to read sheet music. In this
way, they were able to perform at the time modern music for the notables
at the local copper works: minuets, polonaises, English dances, etc.
Some of the resulting, unique material, a lot of which is written by the
musicians themselves, has been preserved in different collections.
Fiddle players Olav L Mjelva and John Ole Morken have recently gathered
a star team of musicians, and recorded this music. Their album forms the
basis for their performance at Riksscenen on Friday.

Barbarians, Dansens Hus, February 19 – 21 at 19.00
The unpredictable Hofesh Shechter returns to Norway with a performance that
explores intimacy, passion and the banalities of love from three different angles.
His most recent project, the trilogy Barbarians, represents Hofesh Shechter at his
most elegant and intimate. The critically acclaimed and disquieting “barbarians
in love” opens the evening. Trembling with emotions, but in rigid structures,
six dancers dressed in white move as one organism to the sound of ecclesiastic
Baroque music.
Then, two very different works unfold: an elusive explosion of dubstep rhythms
in tHe bAD, followed by a touching duet. Together, the three works create a fulllength evening of dance that showcases Shechter’s wry and distinct voice and
the dancers’ talent and versatility.
