Bouncing Narratives is a jumbled mess—a playful wash of images, sounds, and movements that elicits the fine line of pure joy and trauma narratives. It centers around a trauma that cannot be expressed in words, but bounces back again and again. Using minimal and repetitive vocabulary, bouncing and sliding, nuances of rhythm and speed become the main components of a performative act that animates the installation and drives towards a trance-like intensity.

Bouncing Narratives is a performance installation consisting of a container with a trampoline as a roof. The audience is invited to see the performance from below – from the inside of the container – or from the outside – in the urban landscape.

Roza Moshtaghi is a Tehran-born artist and choreographer based in Oslo. Her creations are often situated within the performing arts field as a choreographer/dancer and performer. Her works deal with the unexplained narratives of desire generated in the process of adapting or reacting to systems/structures. The ordinary, or rather what we have forced inside the uniform of the ordinary, is Roza’s playground. She looks for possibilities to hypothesize “the hidden” by digging into the ordinary as a silent landscape. 

The event is part of Oslo Art Weekend
