Concert with Okkenhaug duo
Risør Frikirke gets a nice visit in the middle of the week in mid-October! Music critic Gunnar Ingebrigtsen writes: “What immediately strikes me is their presence and the joy of playing together on stage. (…) They deliver a brilliant concert, filled with joy of playing, with a strong presence and beautiful lyrics, arrangements and not least solid vocals.” In the spring of 2021, Karin Okkenhaug contacted drummer Hermund Nygård and asked him if he played anything other than drums. He absolutely did – and together they have established a musical friendship, which has led to almost 100 concerts played in the last couple of years. Karin and Hermund have each worked with names such as Bjørn Eidsvåg, The Real Thing, Sharp 9, deLillos, Jarle Bernhoft and Anita Skorgan. They have also played a concert with Silje Nergaard and Hallgrim Bratberg, a concept that saw the light of day at the Winter Jazz Festival in March this year. With a combined 40 years in the industry, they bring experience and inspiration from various genres such as pop, folk, jazz and improv, and the audience gets to experience a close and playful duo. The duo brings a small load of instruments, and together they create a soundscape that feels much larger than, and just as small as, the number of people on stage would suggest. The duo writes in Norwegian, with lyrics about life and relationships. Karin Okkenhaug: vocals, keyboards, violin, percussion, etc. Hermund Nygård: guitars, bass, drums, percussion, piano, choir, etc.

CHANGES part 3
How thin, long and difficult is it possible to turn wood? Vidar Iversen shows, through his objects and sculptures in wood, that little is impossible when he uncompromisingly follows an idea - and at the same time masters the craft. The exhibition opens at the same time as the Wooden Boat Festival, and makes Galleri Kunstparken even more relevant for wood lovers.

If safety is not found at home or out there, where do you go?
"Word for blood" is a true story, an inside report from the little sister of Sweden's most dangerous gang leader. It is a painful and honest story about being human and female and ending up in the middle of a deadly gang showdown - in a world where adults are not present. Faysa's closest friends and family members are on opposite sides of the gang war. She no longer has a record of how many she has lost. Now she tells her story.
The National Theatre and the Norwegian Theatre are creating a play based on Faysa Idle's hotly-anticipated book, "A Word for Blood". Her story concerns us all, regardless of who we are or where we live. Perhaps Faysa's story can open up conversations about how we can create a society where we take better care of each other?
--Said about the book:
"Faysa Idle tells her story powerfully and honestly
Business News
"A story that tears at the heart and gives you chills"
Gyldendal Norwegian Publishing House
--Performance length: 1 hour 20 minutes (no intermission).
