*** ANNOUNCEMENT!!! *** — Meet the artists Courtney Deyn and Jacob Samuel behind the company BULLYACHE in a talk about their performance BULLYACHE: TOM — on class and q***rness and much more — *** THIS WEDNESDAY *** at noon: 12:00 at Black Box teater! The conversation is led by Tine Semb, the founder and organizer of the q***r platform Karmaklubb*. We will serve pastries and coffee! And there will be flowers.

In just 4 days' time, BULLYACHE will headline the Oslo Internasjonale Teaterfestival with their boundary-pushing q***r thriller TOM!

Blending the myth of Orpheus with the Government Department of Work and Pensions, TOM is a vertigo-inducing pop-culture collision of working class and q***r expression. With original live music and dance, TOM oscillates between hyper-speed pop, ambient waves, and auto-tune vocals.
