Welcome to BIT’s biennial festival METEOR, dedicated to contemporary theatre and performing arts from Bergen, Norway, and the world. For 10 vibrant days, the festival offers a diverse programme across venues throughout Bergen.
Here’s a preview of some of the performances – we hope to see you at the festival in November! Stay updated about the festival, ticket sales and further programming on this page.
A Mouthful of Tongues
by Stina Fors (SE)
Studio USF
Stina Fors invites to a cozy moment in cowboy boots and a striped suit, but tongues fall out of her mouth and the strangest sounds interfere with the story. This is theatre with the mouth which you’ve never seen before, absurd, shocking, clever and humorous.
Rectum Crocodile
by Marvin M’Toumo (FR/CH)
Studio Bergen
Rectum Crocodile is a magical tale, a political and danced fable that seeks to exorcise the ghosts of white supremacy in the ‘New World’. Inspired by Caribbean carnivals, panthers, mulattos, devils, and coconut trees move in unison, reciting poems and incantations.
Mario & Raoul
by Spreafico Eckly med The Fargions (NO/IT)
Lysverket
Mario & Raoul brings together the intensity of performing arts and of culinary flavours, substituting scenography with a meal. The performance will be performed at the restaurant Lysverket, the same venue where they showed At the end of Your Fork ten years ago, and people were queuing outside to get a seat around the long table.
MONOMANIA
by Heiki Riipinen (NO)
Visningsrommet USF
A monologue by Heiki Riipinen. Monomania is an outdated psychiatric diagnosis. However, obsession with a single truth, fixed ideas, and unreasonable reasoning is epidemic in our time. In a chaotic and complex world, we seek unified thinking – and the cure is unknown.
Stina Force
by Stina Fors (SE)
Visningsrommet USF
Stina Fors + drum kit = Stina Force. There are no recordings. Every concert is unique. This just has to be experienced live. With sharp drums and fierce voices, she pins the audience to the wall until they eat out of her hand. A concert full of joy and wit, power-packed with nerve-racking energy.
Mumiebrun
by Susie Wang (NO)
Studio Bergen
We have finally succeeded in bringing Susie Wang’s fantastic horror theatre to Bergen. The stage is set for a museum visit from hell. The past grabs hold of a human being and pulls her down. Mumiebrun received the Critics’ Award for Theatre in 2019.
