Sjur Hjeltnes: Go Go Go Cake and Piano
By Sjur Hjeltnes • Professional company
Google Sjur HjeltnesAbout Sjur Hjeltnes
Sjur Hjeltnes presents a solo musical comedy show at the Snug that celebrates useless and delicious things — art, music and cake. Things that have no practical application whatsoever. Not sensible, smart or efficient, but pleasurable in the moment and then gone, like a symphony or a piece of chocolate. Hjeltnes tries to explain the meaning of life in broken English, taking audiences on a musical exploration of pleasure and happiness, completely contrary to the Norwegian Health Board recommendations.
Why see this show?
A warm and gently absurd show about the value of things that serve no purpose. Sjur Hjeltnes makes a persuasive case for cake and piano over efficiency — an hour that is pleasurable in precisely the way the show argues for.
