You might think that a sheep’s life is pretty
uneventful, but that is where you are wrong!
In this clever and funny outdoor performance
the audience gains insight into the real world
of sheep.
A flock of sheep and a ram have flown from
Canada to Bergen and have settled down in rural
surroundings. But all is not quiet and peaceful
in this pastoral scene: intense love triangles
are in store, and there is milking, shearing and
grazing to be done – not to mention the wolf!
Outdoor
programme
The performance about the sheep is engaging,
wordless and surprising, and has received
awards in several countries. The actors’ fantastic body language and the surreal humour
have gained high repute.
During the Festival, the city is filled with music,
humour, stunts and surprises. DJs, dancers, circus artists and a number of guerilla musicians
will bring the city centre to life throughout the
Festival period.

welcome children down to the age of six.
Every year, about a thousand breakers from all
over South America gather for a day of battling
and hip-hop in São Paulo, Brazil. The originators of this concept are the AfroBreak Crew, a
group that was formed through the aid of Kolibri
– Children At Risk Foundation and the preventative work they do in the Brazilian metropolis.
This year, on the night before the competition,
you are also invited to a superb outdoors show
in the centre of Bergen. Well known dance
crews, DJs and several bands gather for three
hours of great atmosphere in the square outside
Grieghallen.
The AfroBreak Crew brings their concept to the
