TILSTANDER AV UNNTAK (15:20-16:20) – EN TIME SOM FORMET NORGE av Tore Vagn Lid

One hour in a state of emergency.

It's now over ten years ago - it's already history:
A timeline stretches through a travel piece, built up as an installation of wood, camera, instruments, trail strings, tape players and small and large speakers . Second by second, minute by minute, a team of illustrators, musicians and film artists will reconstruct the time it took a young man to blow up a Norwegian government building and then execute young social democratic politicians at a summer camp. Unlike films about the terrorist's action, or plays that read from Anders B. Breivik's manifesto, the artists do not work retrospectively but in a sense prospectively. In other words: The events are attempted to be reconstructed "from the front", from the series of moments when nothing was yet clear, and no one quite knew what was about to happen; what was important and what wasn't; who was going to be behind it, and what the outcome of this Friday was going to be.

The audience is taken back to the beginning, to the explosion in the Government Quarter. This is followed by sixty landmark minutes - exactly one hour - that shook Norway on a rainy Friday afternoon in the summer of 2011.
