Undersang is a work by Harald Beharie in collaboration with Karoline Bakken Lund, Veronica Bruce and Christian Beharie, which takes shape as a performance ritual in the forest. Undersang is a tapestry of opulent configurations soaked in a shimmer of queer ecologies and extravagant gestures. Here mythologies, national romantic ideals and science fiction converge, revealing a world of ancient powers. 
Weaving Afro and Asian-Nordic diasporic narratives, Undersang plays with the notion of dissonance as an ambiguous feeling of empowerment, sparking questions about cultural fictions and what it means to belong. As a ground for refusal, reclamation of time and looking beyond the idea of ownership, the work seeks fertile ground for healing, for lament and joyous celebration.
Practical Information
Please read the following information thoroughly:
Meeting point: Grorud metro station at 20:30. There will be a 50 minute hike to reach the performance location in Lillomarka. It includes varying levels of difficulty and terrain so please wear appropriate footwear.
The performance and hike is not suitable for individuals with physical impairments.
We highly recommend meeting at Carl Berner plass metro station to travel together to the meeting point at Grorud metro station. We will take Metro 5, direction Vestli, departing from Carl Berner plass at 20:08.

After the performance, the return journey will require the same walking distance and duration. Metro 5, direction Stortinget, departs from Grorud metro station at 23:32.
The performance takes place outdoors, so it is essential to wear warm and suitable clothing.
