Vorbereitet

It is April 1940. The German Kriegsmarine is preparing its ships for something significant. Europe is on edge, wondering where this fleet will set its course. In Norway, however, there are inquiries about reducing the guard for the sake of agriculture. At a coastal fortress somewhere in Norway, we meet an undermanned B-team of Norwegian security.

ARR

Jon Erik has started writing a new text in collaboration with Stine Sandnes, known for her work on projects like Mannemonologene, Kvinnemonologoene, and Flyktningmonologene, to craft a compelling new stage narrative.

MER – Children about charging

At the beginning of June, Jon Erik again directed for Mer. This time it was the kids who were going to tell us about the electric car and charging. Through six films, four children between the ages of 4 and 7 stood in front of the camera.

Tic Tic Takes Time

At the beginning of May, Jon Erik again took on the role of director and screenwriter for the synth duo Tic Tic. The duo from Kristiansand consists of Irene Svendsen and Kai Drange, and brings elements from synthpop, trip-hop and alternative rock into their music.

Bjørneboet

In November, Kanon Produksjon was awarded a micro-residence, called Bjørneboet, which will take place in Kristiansand in week 50. Here, research and writing will be done on Kanon Produksjon’s first original theatre script, with the working title «Det heldige skipet», which translates to «The Lucky Ship».

Grønn Kontakt changing its name to Mer

Grønn Kontakt is changing its name to Mer. The name change is the start of a joint, European charging group based on the experiences from the Norwegian electric car market. Jon Erik has directed the first commercial for the corporate group under a new name. In front of the camera we cast a bunch of beautiful people (and animals), while Gunstein Myre is responsible for photos and clips.
