Mer info:
From drag to education and pedagogy, from films to the club scene, from performance to conversations with queer organizations in Norway.
For this edition, creative people will gather to show their ongoing projects, works in progress, and reflections aloud on topics around queerness, embodied practices and its interactions with the space(s), either “private” or public. Bodies in collective for social movements, and bodies in movement crossing borders -geographical, of gender, among others.
This programme is for those who are hungry of non-Europatriacal, anti-racist, and non-comformig content.
Programme: Friday 26th September at Bergen Kjøtt

Eliyah Mesayer & Nanna Rebekka / Denmark / 2024 / World Premiere / 12 min
A lone rider from the imaginary state of Illiyeen crosses an empty landscape and their reflections unfold in a poetic meditation on identity and belonging.
‘Illiyeen’ is the result of a collaboration between filmmaker Nanna Rebekka and visual artist Eliyah Mesayer. A black and white film work from an imaginary state of the same name, in which a lone rider crosses an empty landscape in a meditation on identity and belonging. The Bedouin term ‘Illiyeen’ refers to a heavenly record or register where the deeds of the righteous are written down and protected. But here, Illiyeen is transformed into an allegorical ‘state of nowhere and nation of everywhere’ beyond geographical or national borders.
CCquele will perform part of the soundscape around the imaginary state.
