Vahák
- Ögonblicksteatern
The performance Vahák - violence - takes place in a reality where colonial and homophobic violence act together. Queer desires, love declarations, grieves and dreams meet in a performance that stages what unites us minorities in minorities, and invite to common resistance against the suppressive mechanisms that is the world today.
Vahák welcome you to a parallel space that remind us of the fact that it can be better, that a queer reality is possible.

From 14 years
Ögonblicksteatern, one of Sweden’s oldest free theatres with 40 years on stage, has created three part performance a fortune cookie as an answer and reaction on the hetero norm colonialism. With a slap in the face the performance gives its audience a possibility to switch perspectives and for a moment leave its comfort zone. Different bodies, different experiences and sayings are given a voice in the performance’s three different stage rooms – the digital one, the theatre and the actistic room. With spoken word, jojk, dance, music and an investigation of the colonial abuse who has been done and still is ongoing, the artists offer solidarity, resistance and love as an alternative to quietness and denial. A performance which is liberates itself and refuses to be best in class.
