about

1 hr 30 min.

duration

the participatory performance by evgeny goman and karoline una moen is a russenorsk lesson and neighbourhood school.

there is no audience in the performance: 20 native norwegian and 20 russian speakers study russenorsk and communicate with each other. Russenorsk is a pidgin, a mixed and phonetically simplified language, spoken for a hundred and fifty years on the border between norway and russia. "moja på tvoja" is another name for the language, meaning... yeah no, you want to find out, join in.

"girls on the bridge" is a collective of female curators and producers based in the north-eastern norwegian town of kirkenes. located 15km from the Russian border and 50km from the finnish border, kirkenes is ideally situated for cross-border cooperation and cultural exchange. pikene på broen was founded in 1996 and has spent the last 20 years implementing large and small cultural projects that open up new perspectives in the north and initiate discussions on topics relevant to the barents region.
