Critics have praised Blood Club for its experimental and playful approach to performing arts as a social arena. Blood Club takes the audience on a journey through culture and genetics, with a special focus on the Sami heritage and individual genetic stories.
The performance explores aggression, adrenaline, and laughter in an alternative reality, and highlights themes such as belonging, community, and our cultural future.
Espen Johansen from the online magazine Hakapik describes the experience as "a loving tumult" where the boundaries between art and life are blurred, emphasizing the performance's ability to address complex issues in a non-preaching manner.
Anki Gerhardsen from Nordlys highlights Ferske Scener's courage and willingness to explore identity and genetics, and commends them for creating a unique artistic arena that deeply resonates on both a human and political level. Gerhardsen points out the importance of such an arena in a time characterized by an "us" and "them" mentality, and praises the performance for its truth and complexity.
"Blood Club" is not just a performance; it is an experience that challenges, touches, and inspires. Through a profound collaboration between talented artists, Blood Club invites the audience to reflect on their own identity and place in an ever-changing cultural landscape.
The performance is in English.
