Bizarra Produksjoner is a constellation mainly consisting of two independent artists that through collaborating with other professionals, are working to make projects both in Norway and abroad.
While Mari Moe Krysinska (MD) has education from theatre studies in Norway and England, Meysam Hosseini has a background as a refugee from Afghanistan, and he relies on work experience in arts from an early age, and non-formal education. We all work as professionals in theatre in Norway. We collaborate with other professionals, informal youth groups, schools,and universities.
- Introducing democratic art and forms of artistic expression to new audiences/participants.
- We believe in the encounter with the Other, without restrictions of nationality, race, gender or political and religious faith. We aim at starting collaborative actions involving national and international institutions, associations, companies for producing, touring and researching activities with youth such as workshops, performances, seminars.
- Promote the meeting of young people from different backgrounds, nationalities, and disciplines.
- We build through arts an intercultural dialogue based on tolerance, mutual respect, and empathy. Some of our core themes of investigations are: human rights, preservation of the environment, gender equality, individual liberty, fight against corruption, individual expression and liberty, a positive process of integration and globalization.
- To promote active citizenship, intercultural dialogue, social inclusion,and intercultural awareness
- Enhance acceptance and quality of non-formal education in Norway
Fields we are active and experienced in:
- Working with youth
- Art (Theatre, visual art, music and movement)
- Refugees – One of our board members (Meysam Abbas Hosseini), has a refugee background, and we work with groups that have minority background. This has led to theatre performances, workshops and visual exhibitions.
