Experience this captivating
performance from Fiji!
For anyone who lives on an island, surrounded
by the deep, beautiful yet dangerous sea, it is
a cruel thought that one day the island will be
swallowed by the ocean. For the inhabitants
of the tropical Pacific Islands, this is about to
happen. Global climate change makes the sea
rise and the land to disappear. How does it feel
when the sea forces you to abandon all that
you hold dear? What does the threat of climate
change mean to the island societies and the
families who live there?
Moana – The Rising of the Sea is an intense
and colourful declaration of love to the nature
and cultures of the Pacific, performed by
Pacific Islanders. Through music, dance and
video, 25 dancers and singers from Oceania
Dance Theatre and the choir Pasifika Voices
share motions and experiences not so easily
captured in scientific reports.
Leading climate researchers meet in Bergen
on 29 May for an open symposium about global warming and rising sea levels. Before the
performance, one of the participants will give
a brief introduction to the powerful messages
conveyed by Moana.

Energetic and melancholy love in
Jewish festive spirit.
The clarinet is fervent, yet heartbreaking, the
bass gets your blood pumping and the accordion leaves you breathless. Get ready to be
carried away by this six-man orchestra and
their declaration of love to klezmer!
"Mames Babegenush" is Yiddish and means
"mom's aubergine salad". The Danish band
has won international klezmer awards, and is
known for creating a magical atmosphere at
their concerts. Last autumn they released a
new album.
Klezmer is music for weddings and other
celebrations, and has a long tradition. The
first references to it are found in 17th century Eastern Europe. Its hypnotic rhythms and
heartfelt melodies from Jewish folk music have
since influenced many musical genres, jazz in
particular.
