Norwegians love to fish, and Norway is the country in Europe with the most recreational fishermen. The hunt for the black gold, the lobster, has become a very popular activity among recreational fishermen. Johanna brings the latest news from the field of lobster research to Kristiansand. If you are curious about the ins and outs of a lobster, the history of fishing or how the lobster population is doing, or perhaps you know a lobster fisherman you want to impress, then this is the place for you. About the speaker: Johanna Marcussen, grew up lobster fishing in Southern Norway and is now a doctoral fellow in marine biology at the University of Agder and the Institute of Marine Research. Her main interest is the intersection between fisheries and marine conservation. She is one of Norway's representatives in the working group on lobster and crab in the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea and is currently working on population estimation of lobsters.

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).
