Amatøroyar

If you haven´t heard Amatøroyar you have a huge problem (or you probably don't understand Faroese). The concept is simple. It is a podcast. Two open hearted amateurs talking about everything. The subjects and themes are spontanious. The language is totally off and only once in a while the observations hit the bulls eye. Amatøroyar is in short a passionated conversation between two friends, you are welcomed to be the listener.

The first Amatøroyar show was released in October 2017 and has grown into a podcast that has thousands of internationasl listeners. The amateurs are Bjarni Arge and Jóan Pauli Dahl Jakobsen. And they will perform a live podcast with observations that are suitable for the occasion. They will discuss things that should be stopped, things that are cool, things that are absurd and things they like. 

The two guys from Amatøroyar do not intend to break the penal code but they will be completely out of pedagogical control.

orBIT : A play by Ria Tórgarð. 

A band meets up. They are going to rehearse. They have been rehearsing previously – often – they meet up regularly in order to rehearse music. 6 people, who all have their personal qualities, their dreams and wishes, their identities and desires. But is it music, that is the motivation for them to make a band? Or is it something else? The common feeling and the love for music is set aside to make room for personal interests and becomes an obstacle to the symbiosis that is essential for creativity. This is an absurd play, a tragic comedy, about people, who cannot find the common tune, and do not have the common sense needed, in order to create music together. The Theater Group is founded by MáF, who has invited them to take part in an International Theater Festival in Litava this summer. The play is designed for an international audience. 

 

Kl.21.00
