Intervall

Interval – the time between events and states is a staged composition and a performative music project, created and performed by the percussion trio Pinquins in collaboration with scenographer Kjersti Alm Eriksen.

In a playful yet extremely precise exploration of the relationship between human and object, between conscious actions and mechanical consequences, Pinquins show that music can be theatre for both the ears and the eyes. The performers are musicians and object manipulators in and outside of a space they cannot enter. What is distant becomes close, what is heavy becomes light, and movement becomes sound at a distance, leaving traces.

This is contemporary music in theatrical form; it is sound-sculpture theatre, object theatre, and music. The work was nominated for Work of the Year by the Norwegian Society of Composers in 2024.

Pinquins consists of Jennifer Torrence, Ane Marthe Sørlien Holen, and Sigrun Rogstad Gomnæs. With their highly visual repertoire and unique stage presence, the trio has distinguished itself as one of the most innovative, pioneering, and leading ensembles on the Norwegian contemporary music scene.

The trio are old friends of Go Figure. In 2018 they took part in the opening performance of our very first festival edition, and since then we’ve just been waiting for a good opportunity to bring them back. Now it’s happening!
