By playing with movement and pressure
sensors, the participant influences music and
theatre lights. LED lights mix the colours onto
the surface of large sails as participants create
a new atmosphere in the room, which becomes
enveloped in moving lines, music and colour.

An exciting journey through the galaxy
with drums, smoke and laser lights.
Rhythms from Space is a family show with interactive technology, lots of drums and exciting music.
Two drumonauts who drum themselves through
the galaxy. Suddenly, they find themselves in a
life-threatening situation, quite alone, far out in
the universe. A princess gives them a task: They
must save her planet from a dangerous asteroid.
Members of the audience get to control the lights
and laser beams, and everyone has to help when
the drumship develops engine trouble. The children will never forget this journey.

Hip-breaking acrobatics, humour and
rebellion at the retirement home.
Festival Square bubbles over with food
from all corners of the world.
One day break-dancers Absence wake up to
discover that time has passed by and they are in
a retirement home. When they realize that they
have grown old, they refuse to accept it. Even if
the body isn’t willing, the six break-dancers in
Absence rebel against time and the carers in the
retirement home. Oldschool is a production about
life’s joys and impermanence that puts life into
perspective.
In collaboration with the Bergen International
Festival, BIKS and Det felles invandrerråd
Hordaland host a food market where the public
can buy reasonably priced food from 20 different
countries. This tasty morsel from RIFF includes
artistic performances from Bergen and other parts
of the world. After the aperitif at Festival Square,
RIFF continues at Logen Theatre with even more
music and dance at 19:00 (see page 19).
With the help of break-dance, humour and
a good dose of hip-breaking acrobatics, the
Bergen-based crew show that growing old doesn’t
have to mean becoming boring.
Artists and performers supply entertainment for
all ages, while the various food stands serve large
and small delicacies. This is the third RIFF event,
but the first time an abundant food menu and
outdoor programme is offered. The concept is
centred on grand words such as roots, identity, difference and fellowship, but is first and foremost a
boundless celebration of music for the feet, head,
heart and of course, stomach. Bon appétit!
