Patina
– to age with flying colours
A tribute to our mothers , grandmothers , and great grandmothers .
It is never too late to take to the stage . The ladies of Patina are a powerful demonstration of that . Almost thirty women aged 64 to 83 sparkle in this dance theatre performance in Griegsalen . To a soundtrack spanning from the music of their youth and up until today , they perform dance scenes where life itself is displayed in all its joy , vulnerability , and wonder .
The creator of this moving and poetic performance is former Carte Blanche manager and choreographer Arne Fagerholt . His ambition was to make older ladies shine in a dance performance unlike anything the world has ever seen before and pay tribute to a generation of women that so often put others ’ needs before their own . The first performance took place in Orkdal in 2012 and the ladies were a great success , with a guest performance at the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet , a USA-tour , and a documentary by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation . Several local performances around the country have followed , and now it ’ s time for the Bergen ladies to strut their stuff .
