A performance by Ingrid Berger Myhre and Lasse Passage

No Dreams, No Gold might be a performance about pauses. But it also might be about structure, about performing your own material, about digressions, about wet dreams and electroacoustic music, about absence, about how and when to drink coffee, about the ordinary and about the extraordinary. 

Ingrid Berger Myhre is a Norwegian dance artist based in Brussels. She holds an MA Choreography: research and performance from ex.e.r.ce CCN Montpellier and Research Studio’s at P.A.R.T.S. A former amateur percussionist, she is now contemplating whether to make a comeback or to completely retire. 

Composer and musician Lasse Passage started studying composition at the Grieg Academy in Bergen and completed his BA in Sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Adding to this his practice as a singer-songwriter further complicates his delightfully diverse musical identity. 

Ingrid and Lasse have different experience and perspective, but share the space of negotiation that arise when meeting in the periphery of their own expertise. As a consequence, No Dreams, No Gold becomes a performance that takes refreshing liberties as it slips between a broad range of genres: from erotic hörspiels, to hybris lectures and relentless one-man-bands. 

Departing from the auto-biographical, Lasse and Ingrid have given themselves the assignment and the license to drift off into fictional spaces. Are pause and structure simply two sides of the same coin — something to hold onto, and something to lean into?
