Erlend Osnes: Fire bokstaver

"It always seems strange to start with a simple 'hello' but I can't really find a better word or combination of words that is more appropriate. 'Good day' seems too formal so it's 'hello'." Moreover, it is claimed from many quarters that simple is often best.

My fifth solo show is very close to being ready for premiere, there is still a lot of work to do. The framework itself is in place and in that sense enough for me to tell you what is coming.
Life is too short to not enjoy life, in the search for well-being comes knowledge about the world and about oneself. I have learned a lot about myself lately and I certainly want to share that with you.
Many pieces fell into place when I received an ADHD diagnosis not long ago. With that insight, I became more comfortable and I was able to see myself in a different light and context.
This is what I will now tell you about.
I'm going to talk about dark things like depression, suicide, and anxiety, but as always, I'm also going to talk about love, joy, and happiness. Both of those things, as life is for all of us whether you have ADHD or not. This is for all of us who live this life.
And, it's going to be fun, I promise you that.

Yours sincerely, Erlend Osnes »
