Urframføring under Hauge – Tveitt-jubileet i Ulvik 18. september 2008.
The artists Juni Dahr, Tore Brunborg and Thomas Strønen have made a lyrical and musical performance “Hello Hauge”, based on the Norwegian poet Olav H. Hauge’s poems.
The performance was originally commissioned for a poetry festival in Norway in 2008, where it received great reviews – one newspaper characterized it as “gourmet food for the soul”.
“Hello Hauge” was also performed at Peking University and Shanghai Fudan University in 2009. Olav H. Hauge (1908 – 1994) was inspired by Chinese poetry during his entire life. His work has been translated by the Norwegian professor Harald Bøckman and the Chinese contemporary poet Xi Chuan.
Olav H. Hauge lived a reserved life as a fruit farmer in western Norway. His poems revolve around nature and everyday life, they have been translated into many languages and continue to have a huge influence.
