Bill.merk.: Heil ved

An autobiographic, humoristic and vulnerable one man show
- with three men on stage

Høytsvevende og hardbarka,
men også følsom og jordnær hallingdanser
søker henrivende publikum.
Og drømmedama.
Alt av interesse.
Kunnskap om folkedans og ved ikke et krav.
Ved interesse: kom på neste forestilling.
Undertegnede stiller med to trofaste wingmen
og musikere ved navn Sivert Holmen og Andreas Bratlie

Med håpefull hilsen

Bill.merk.: Heil ved is a dance performance with a monologue about dating, love, firewood, realization and self-respect. Through dance, acrobatics, working with firewood, humor and music, the main character shares his self-examining journey towards the big goal; to get a girlfriend. Preferably by becoming and being “heil ved”: someone who is mostly secure in themselves, stands up for others and is able to get their life in order.

Winner of Folkelarmprisen 2024 “Production of the year”

The jury's statement:

!This year's winner is a performance beyond the ordinary. Folk dance is central, and the performer is in a class of his own in his genre. The same can be said of the musicians! But the script and the story woven into the folk dancing make this something special! With strength, agility, humour, precision and self-irony, the main character takes us into his inner world and his dreams and goals.”
