A consertperformance. Munch’s own texts are an introduction to his paintings, describing women, friends, nature, the ocean in the evening and in moonlight. His concern for human feelings and relationships is seen in the pictures. These motives inspired Juni Dahr to invite two of Norway’s finest jazz musicians to create this concertperformance. Hearing in his own words, his inner thoughts about life, the situations and the people in the pictures, give a deep insight into Munch’s life and complicated artist mind.
