Are Mokkelbost

Marthe Ramm Fortun
Artist Marthe Ramm Fortun will set up a series of commissioned performances for “The Big Bad Dada Show” as the artist herself calls the exhibition. Dada women have long been a source of inspiration in her work, including the use of text and performative readings, which allow for improvisation and physical movement such as climbing and balance. For Henie Onstad's exhibition, Ramm Fortun has produced the work Ciel/ Sjel (2019), which looks at the concept of linguistic commandment and what it means to be both the carrier of a message and the message itself.

Siri Hjorth and Pernille Mercury Lindstad
TVTV is a performance series by artists Hjorth and Mercury. The series takes place on a TV stage designed and built in collaboration with Henie Onstad. Over the course of three episodes and a finissage, the audience will experience a combination of live and pre-recorded TV-shows. The cast of characters explore a lost generation of stereotypes situated in the past, present, and future. While investigating the theatrical aspects of Dada, TVTV questions the meaning of conventions, correctness, and taboo. The TVTV studio has contributions by Andreas Strand Renberg, Åsa Hillingseter Løyning, Ingvild Isaksen, and Sebastian Makonnen Kjølaas.

He started his jazz career in the big band Ung Musikk in 1995, attended Toneheim Folk High School (1997-1998), before taking a degree in jazz at the Norwegian College of Music. For the Dada cabaret he will have perform Goodbye Intuition—Improvising with Satie and Machine.

Harold Offeh
Artist Harold Offeh works in a variety of mediums, including performance, video, and photography. He often uses humor to confront the spectator. His performance workshop Selfie Choreography: Performing with the Camera (2017) explores the body's potential playful ways, through the camera lens.

Marcela Lucatelli
Composer and vocalist Marcela Lucatelli is invited to perform her work during the Dada cabaret. Lucatelli's energetic tonal performance of incomprehensible words leads the listener to an almost unpleasant recognition where satire and despair are associated with other types of consciousness.

Beglomeg
In 2015, Beglomeg Spellemann won the Rock class for his fascinating debut album Eurokrjem. In their very own theatrical and cabaret-like manner, Beglomeg mashes punk, disco, easy listening, trash culture, and political manifestations into a shameless and lifeless pop carousel.
