The Norwegian artist group MMH/SC/HS are presenting the site specific performance “A perfectly safe hide-out” for the Beirut Street Festival 2011 in Lebanon. Their work draws upon questions and situations inspired by ”real life” conditions, politics, social structures and (hi)stories of society. Combining dance, visual art and music, the project sets out to explore common perception of our surrondings linked to the location in which we are in.

-Our goal is to make people think outside the box, say Matias Nordahl Carlsen and Jørgen Evil Ekvoll. The two young men have been walking across Lebanon, from Machta Hammoud in the north, to Tyre in the south. The entire trip has been well documented, resulting in a documentary series consisting of 14 episodes, each five minutes long.
