The experimental festival APARTE presents a rare bouquet of artists who can be described in various ways as transcending and innovative.

Penny Arcade (US) is a performance artist with a background in the avant garde milieu in New York in the late 60s/early 70s. Think Larry Rivers, Jackie Curtis, Patti Smith, Andy Warhol. She performs the award-winning work Longing Lasts Longer, a kind of memoir that covers important eras and ideas from a hectic life.

Drag Syndrome (UK) is, in short, a traveling dance troupe made up of drag artists with Down syndrome. Since their inception in a basement in east London in 2018, the kings and queens of DS have become a global phenomenon, and all Oslo residents with a heart for boundary-breaking artistic expression simply have to know their visit time!

HC Gilje / Justin Bennett (NO/NL) presents the improvised performance work Mikro, which is based on material found in the immediate area where the work takes place. Via microscopes, contact microphones and video loops, the duo literally takes a deep dive into matter.
