Natural Fiction Circus (2009)

Glør, a football-fan and flag-collector, loves romance and obsessively scours the glossy magazines for wedding pictures. Gunn Kristin is a bad troll who sings and dances around a campfire in the woods. Stig has to work, but he’s actually dreaming of sailing the seas. They are just three of the characters of Natural Fiction Circus, a multi-media performance with a group of inhabitants from Vidaråsen Landsby, about dreams of life and fictions of daily living.

Vidaråsen Landsby in the south of Norway is one of the worldwide known Camphill Villages, a community for adults with developmental disabilities. Initiated by the international performance-collective Banality Dreams, in spring 2009 a group of 9 artists from different disciplines and 11 disabled actors from Vidaråsen Landsby came together in a dialogue to open new perspectives on art and on life.

The Authentic Boys created the videos that were integrated in the performances, as presented in Tønsberg (N) and Berlin (D) in May and October 2009. On other occasions the work was presented as a multi-channel video-installation.
