Closing performance: I am Dog (digital)

The stricter infection control measures adopted by the Norwegian authorities for the Bergen region from 7-14 February mean that LitFestBergen must cancel all physical events. All ticket purchases for physical events will be refunded. Streaming tickets costing NOK 40.00 for this event will be available at ticketco.no. A number of programme items will be shown free on YouTube.

The final session of the Bergen International Literary Festival 2021 is a premiere.

“I am Dog” is a performance in text, pictures, light and sound created by Alwynne Pritchard in collaboration with Domizia Tosatto. The story unfolds through a series of short interactions between a girl called Willa and her friend Dog, who together exist in a world of almost complete isolation. Their exchanges, which are playful, funny, sometimes heroic and often cruel, can be read as a kind of internal monologue – two sides of the same personality – or simply as the antics of two young beings discovering life and the world together. Light design by Baptiste Deyrail.    

“I am Dog” is intended for both adults and children.
