OLD SCHOOL | Absence Crew (NO)
Oldschool is a performance about the joys and impermanence of life — a show that puts everything into perspective. With breakdance, humor, and a healthy dose of hip-fracture-defying acrobatics, Absence proves that getting older doesn’t have to be boring at all.
TIME & LOCATION
Nov 01, 2025, 6:00 PM – 6:45 PM
Normoria (Operasal), Kongens Plass 6, 6509 Kristiansund, Norway
ABOUT THE EVENT
A Battle Against Ageing
When you're having fun, time flies. One day, the breakers in Absence suddenly wake up to find that time has passed them by. Now they’re in a retirement home — grey-haired and trembling — where the highlight of the day is bingo and a cup of coffee. But even if their bodies aren’t what they once were, the six members of Absence take on one final, spectacular battle against old age to put on a grand farewell show.
Absence Crew is an award-winning breaking crew with a black belt in entertainment. Founded in 1999, Absence has since specialized in spectacular stage productions and physical theatre performances. The crew are former Norwegian Breaking Champions and winners of Mitt Dansecrew (TV2). Today, they tour across the country with their unique shows while continuing to compete internationally.
