Two Fools and a Pole, 2021

Performance.
Performed by Sofie Hesselholdt and Vibeke Mejlvang.
Trumpet and composition: Anders Juhl Nielsen.

The artist and the fool have a lot in common. They are both playing and jumping and teasing. Only fully existing in relation to their audience. Hiding behind slapstick and artistry while exposing inconvenient truths to the world and the powers that be. But behind the funny mask melancholia and despair is lurking.
The project is generously supported by the Danish Arts Foundation.

Special project, CHART Art Fair 2021, Charlottenborg courtyard, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Included in the art programme for Heartland Festival 2022, Egeborg Slot, Funen, Danmark.
