Jeg ser munnen din bevege seg opp og ned

a monologue performance about the dizzying love, about the dreams and bubbles that come with it, about the house we will build, about the children who will swarm, about when we will go trekking in the Pyrenees, and cycle the Rallar road, about the marzipan we will make, about everything that will one day be, and a barbershop trio!

A girl and a boy are talking under a lamppost in Slottsparken in December, perhaps exactly where Henrik Wergeland and his beloved Amlie were standing when Wergeland, as if in passing, pointed in the direction of what would later become Grotten and asked: Wouldn't you like to live here? .

We spend a third of our lives sleeping and possibly the rest dreaming about what our life will be like one day. The dream is shaped by the world around us and eventually the dream can become an idea, and the idea can become a part of us. The idea may be a well-worn cliché, but that doesn't mean it's not real.

"I see your mouth moving up and down" asks if we almost imperceptibly lose our grip on each other when we fall in love with this ideal image, when life remains somewhere else.

One day when we were driving, we passed the castle park, to the spot where we later lived.Wergeland was so captivated by the beautiful view that he asked me, as if after a sudden impulse: "Wouldn't you like to live here?" - Amalie Wergeland
