Gonzales
Banana Boat Road Show
-
performed by performance-poet Per Alvis Alvsten and impro-storyteller-gone-delirious
Kasper Seier Schulz.
The great hunt is on here. The hunt for humor! And it
takes the performers all over. We meet concentrated doses
of Slavic, African, Greenlandic, and even Gypsy humor.
A whole new concept, “World Humor” is brought
to the table and put on the agenda. And food is prepared
on stage.
As a central figure in the show, we see Gonzales w. Gonzales.
A dried up, long and lanky skin-and-bones man. He is bald,
cross-eyed, and quite central-African. Gonzales is familiar
with, yes, he understands humor’s nature. He functions
as an all-knowing oracle for the two performers. But can
he digest the two performer’s exquisite cuisine?
The performance is built on, and accompanied by percussion.
The audience’s laughter muscles are put to work
constantly. Show up and find out if it’s the food
(the flatfish), or the laughter that goes down the wrong
pipe! |

The band Forgetting Feet
- the band is comprised of Egil Dennerline,
Palle Hjorth, Mikkel Rørbæk and Anders Holm.
We are surrounded by electronics; they infiltrate
our everyday lives with everything from hand-held wireless-digital-map-telephone-camera
to automatic flushing at public toilets.
The band Forgetting Feet takes a nostalgic look back at
the meeting of the electronic living room.
Lamps with yellow shades, dark, striped wallpaper and
stained lounge chairs from the Danish living room from
1955 set the tone. On stage are old radios, TVs and telephones
that also enter the soundscape.
Forgetting Feet is a band at the crossroads of words and
music that combine the two media in a unified sound collage.
The band is comprised of the Danish-American writer Egil
Dennerline, who provides voice and samples, Palle Hjorth
plays organ, Mikkel Rørbæk guitar, and Anders
Holm on the drums.
The collective sound is partly improvised and spreads
out over many genres, from rock to pop, jazz, ambient,
country and funk. |
