Safe fest

Safe fest is a festival that was first hosted in November 2019 in a former public toilet in Bankastræti, Reykjavík. Founded by a group of theatre maker graduates of 2019, the festival was a collection of performances and experimental theatre in a very small space. The performance “Dett” (e. fall) was a performance where I fell for around 10 minutes in slow motion, assisted by a climbing harness and a team which consisted of Hákon Örn Helgason and Rúnar Örn Grétarsson. The music made use of famous pop songs that mention falling.

Safe fest was hosted in 2020 in Midpunkt, a gallery space in Hamraborg, Kópavogur. Collaborating again with Hákon and Rúnar, this time a ran and jumped into a wall, having been painted blue with “We are the Champions” by Queen. Due to Covid 19, we could not have a live audience, so the performance focused on leaving a clear mark behind.
