SUMMARY:Abjectified Project: Preview of ‘Overture’ at Centralteatret\
 \, Oslo Nye Teater
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the preview of Overture — a visceral performance
  by Abjectified Project\\, where theater\\, dance and abject drag art com
 e together to create a fusion of queer performance! This work embraces di
 sgust\\, fear\\, and fascination to challenge the ideas of beauty\\, norm
 ality and what the queer body represents. The abject plays on emotions su
 ch as repulsion\\, shock\\, fear\\, disgust and nausea\\, and problematiz
 es what is associated with beauty versus what is considered ugly. With he
 ritage from alternative drag tradition\\, horror films\\, abject art and 
 affect theory\\, queer bodies are highlighted in a universe where the goa
 l is to take control of what many in society still consider repulsive to 
 this day: being queer.   Abjectified Projectis a newly started drag art 
 company consisting of performers with backgrounds in drag\\, performing a
 rts and a shared love of repulsive aesthetics. The performance is based o
 n a series of drag performances from 2023–25. With this project\\, Abje
 ctified is lifted out of the ‘drag cabaret format’ and into the perfo
 rming arts and a more complete dramaturgy. Performers are Åshild Livsdat
 ter Brinchmann Løvvig\\, Peter David Ramthun\\, Sofie Bøttger Bratberg 
 and Jens Martin Arvesen Welde-Hartvedt. Dramaturg and external observer i
 s Katinka Steensgaard. Tine Semb with Karmaklubb* is co-producer and coor
 dinator of the project. All involved have different professional backgrou
 nds: dance\\, acting and theater\\, film theory\\, nursing and medical st
 udies\\, screenwriting\\, pedagogy and linguistics — disciplines that a
 re brought into the work in different ways to inspire and generate ideas\
 \, as well as create their own interpretation and theory around the abjec
 t as an aesthetic and performative tool in interaction with the performer
 s’ practice within queer art and drag. In addition\\, other guest artis
 ts are invited. There will be a mixture of performance material from Abje
 ctified and line-up acts from our respective invited artists. *** SAVE TH
