Rigger foajéen til Heimanifrå

Perculator. Hoover. Ashtray. These objects are intended to “frame” the stage in the northern part of the foyer, where most of the extensive supporting program for the performance *Heimanifrå – på høge hæle i Junaiten* will take place.

“We’re creating a sort of backdrop using objects from our Lista collection. Most of them come from America. I hope the public will find it interesting to take a closer look at what we’ve put together,” says Tonje Tjøtta (pictured), conservator and collections manager at the Vest-Agder Museum.

Told in a new way

She finds it exciting that Kilden is staging a play about emigration from Agder to America. And she believes it may be important for this story to be told in a new way now.

“Here, the story is told in a way that neither a museum nor a book can convey. I’m looking forward to seeing the performance,” says Tjøtta.

For Kilden, it means a great deal to be able to display objects that may well appear in the actual performance in Teatersalen.

Great collaboration

“This has been a wonderful collaboration,” says Pernille Usterud-Svendsen ofperforming arts centre Kilden performing arts centre, who is delighted to be able to offer the audience that little something extra.

"Heimanifrå – On High Heels in June," by Rune Belsvik, is playing at Kilden April 1.
