Is dance a universal language? Rita Maria Muñoz is researching this question and invites you to a special performance experiment where you will be able to experience the movements, thoughts and silences of the performance.

Please join us for a presentation by Karen Werner, an artist currently doing a work residence at BEK from her own home. Set up outside of Skottegaten 20, this will be a live radio broadcast and street party!
Karen Werner is doing a Work Residency at BEK – from home. In her dining room she has set up a SkottegatenFM transmission point from where she is transmitting daily and is helping interested neighbours broadcast from their homes.
