BACKGROUND
Thomas of Norway and Ida Løken Valkeapää met each other in an artist talk at the Arctic Arts Festival (Festspillene i Nord-Norge) in 2021. We became curious about an artistic collaboration, and during 2022 we have in several workshops to investigate and search for a common stage language. The topic: Domestic violence.
​
Ida Løken Valkeapää is an actress and performing artist based in Tromsø with a great love for Northern Norway. She grew up in Oslo, was educated at Teaterhögskolan in Helsinki and HB Studio in New York, and has worked as a freelance actor since 2001. She has been working at institutional theaters in Finland, Sweden and Norway in addition to various independent group projects and film and TV. She also co-founded the Nordic theater group Subfrau. In recent years, Ida has developed «storytelling concerts» in collaboration with various musicians. ​
We would like to create a poetic work that invites the audience to an associative journey, stimulating reflection and independent thinking, connected with an intimate format, a feeling of community in a safe space. Through the project, we want to create an introduction to a conversation: «How can we talk about domestic violence?"
