"Art meets science in an informal, gutsy, funny and deeply serious revision of complex issues in Trine Falch’s performance Kongo-Hansen* (Congo Hansen). Post-colonial relationships in a North-South perspective are put on the agenda in a whole new manner. When Africa enters the picture, it’s like hell, performing artist Trine Falch says. We, on the other hand, live in the best country in the world. The distance between North and South seems unreasonably long, also in Norway."
