Breakfast conversation with Maritea Dæhlin and Ipek Mehlum

Each season, Black Box teater invites the artist Maritea Dæhlin to curate and host breakfast conversations with invited guests. We serve a light breakfast, coffee and tea, and invite the audience to take part in the conversation. This time, Maritea Dæhlin has invited Ipek Mehlum.

The event will be sign language interpreted.

● Ipek Dedeoglu Mehlum is a Norwegian-Turkish actor and performing artist with extensive experience in national and international performing arts. She trained at the Nordic Black Theatre School in Oslo. With Turkish Sign Language as her mother tongue, sign language is a core element of her artistic expression. She has been a leading actor at Teater Manu since 1999, where she is currently a permanent ensemble member. She is also the founder of Sign Language Slam, hosted at Nordic Black Theatre. Mehlum was nominated for a Hedda Award in 2010 and received the Rolf Gammleng Award in 2022.

● Maritea Dæhlin is an artist who works and lives in Norway and Mexico. Her work spans theatre, video performance, performance art, sound art, and stage text. Her artistic practice is characterized by multilingualism, non-linearity, and at times absurdity. Dæhlin was previously an associate artist at Black Box teater (2021–2022).
