‘Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine’ er kåret til en av de 25 beste forestillingene 2000-2025 i Norsk Shakespearetidsskrift. Tusen takk for nominasjon og til jury. ‘Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine’ has been selected as one of the 25 best performances of 2000–2025 by Norwegian Shakespeare journal.🙏 Norsk Shakespearetidsskrift inviterte i fjor leserne til å delta i en kåring av de beste norske teaterforestillingene etter årtusenskiftet. Kåringen baserer seg på nominasjoner fra deres abonnenter, som så igjen er tatt opp til diskusjon i en fagjury på syv personer. (www.shakespearetidsskrift.no) ‘Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine’ ble først vist under Playground festivalen ved STUK Kunstencentrum, samarbeid med 30CC og Bibliotheek Tweebronnen i Leuven, Belgia, november 2010. Første forestillinger i Norge var under Marstrand vol.IV ved Black Box teater & Deichmanske Bibliotek Grünerløkka i Oslo, mars 2012. Det er mange utøvere & bøker å takke for samarbeidet. Thank you all books, near and far, for being part of this work. 💌 En stor takk rettes også til alle teatre, festivaler, biennaler og biblioteker som har invitert prosjektet og gitt oss anledning til å forsette, takk til Kulturrådet for støtte, og til alle leserne: hver leser forlenger minnet av boka.🤍 www.timehasfallenasleepintheafternoonsunshine.be Foto: Park Suhwan, Ob/Scene festival, Seoul (2020) #timehasfallenasleepintheafternoonsunshine #fahrenheit451 @blackboxteater @deichman.grynerlokka @norskshakespearetidsskrift

Hva skjer på scenen når teppet faller og lyset slukkes? 🕯️✨ I gamle teatre står det ofte et enslig lys igjen i mørket – en ‘ghost lamp’ eller ‘la servante’. Den skal hindre ulykker, men sies også å vise vei for teaterets spøkelser. I forestillingen All you have to do is die gir Mette Edvardsen og lysdesigner Bruno Pocheron stemme til dette nattlyset. Hva har lampen å fortelle oss? 🗓 20.–22. mars 19.00 Sikre deg billetter og les mer – link i bio! 🎟️

SUR LES BORDS Watt #9 dance & performance magazine Watt + T2G Théâtre de Gennevilliers Edited by Charlotte Imbault & Frédérique Ehrmann Very happy to be part of this beautiful bilingual publication and for the invitation to be in exchange with Simon. <3 ‘Appuis’ From English to French, Simon Asencio and Mette Edvardsen go back and forth between their respective readings. Phrases resonate on their own or alongside others, opening up a written staged situation of what surrounds them and accompanies them in every day life. Both of them work between orality and writing. While Mette Edvardsen mainly writes for the stage and is co-founder of Varamo Press publishing house, Simon Asencio uses literature in his performative settings and exhibitions. @simon.asencio @charlotteimbault @revue.watt @t2gennevilliers #watt #surlesbords #revuewatt #performancepublishing

Finally, this version of the work ‘All you have to do is die’ premiered at Meteor festival, USF, @bit.teater in Bergen, 15 & 16 November 2025. Thank you everyone for coming! Thank you Bettina Kogler for the invitation and the trust + special thank yous to the technical crew (this piece is for you). Thank you @andrearodrigo___ for the after talk, making connections to other works and opening the room for feedback after the first show. More posts to follow, and all due credits will come up on the website, soon! We do it again tonight! With @brunopocheron doing his light magic behind the scenes. And @hedvigbs following up on everything around. Photos: Thor Brødreskift @thorbrodreskift
