3Troubadours – Mobile Dreams
3Troubadours present “Mobile Dreams”
– Storytelling performance which we will be touring with in Scandinavia from the 5th to the 22nd of August 2015.
A poetic, funny and warm storytelling performance for adults about the everlasting human search for truth and connection, freedom and beauty. In a playful stream of four languages (English, Finnish, Norwegian and Dutch) the three perfomers behind “Mobile Dreams” tell a string of tales both mythical and personal, all connected by the language of dreams. No performance is exactly the same, there is always an element of improvisation present, and everywhere they go, the 3Troubadours work together with a new local musician.
Audience feedback the pilot performance in Ghent, Belgium 9th of May:
“It was super!”
“It was so fun to hear the mix of languages, it really added something great.”
“I am very happy I came”
(Duration: 90 minutes + interval)
3Troubadours is a collaboration between the performance storytellers Markus Luukkonen (FI), Tom van Outryve (BE) and Torgrim Mellum Stene (NO).
