This open mic is dedicated to queer poets who wish to perform in a language other than Norwegian and English.
L'écart takes place in the fantastic SKOKS venue, formerly Sofienberg Church, once every month.
Sámi and Kven, sign languages, Arabic, Spanish, Polish… the list of languages spoken in Oslo goes on and on. The intent with this event is not to exclude the wonderful poets who choose to write in Norwegian and English, but to create a new space which focuses on the rich diversity within the poetry scene.
By encouraging poets to express themselves in other languages, the hope is that this event will showcase the variety of voices in the queer community, and give the listeners a unique experience. Therefore we ask you to sign up if you wish to perform in another language than Norwegian or English.
Please keep the performances to a maximum of 3 minutes, and please sign up beforehand by sending a message to Jonathan who will be your MC. Jonathan will read in Arabic and Swedish to start the night, and then introduce all the poets.
