In a year where cultural events have been forced to reimagine how they exist, we are excited to collaborate with Borealis on a special evening presentation of choreographer Nikima Jagudajev's project Basically. Jagudajev has been present at Bergen Kunsthall throughout this winter developing Basically through auditions, conversations and discussions. The project culminates in several performances which involve local musicians, dancers and artists as well as her international collaborators composers Jordan Balaber and Lester St. Louis. Her practice is mostly concerned with the format of gatherings. Nikima's works engage participants and audiences in open-ended situations which collectively make up space and deviate.
Presented in collaboration with Borealis – a festival for experimental music.
The exhibition Basically is a core element and framework for Bergen Kunsthall's live programme Speculative Histories. The performances are co-organised with Oktoberdans, BiT Teatergarasjen and Borealis.
Supported by Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
