In 2017 and 2018 the Uneasy Listening Society embarked on our long standing dream to bring artists, scientists, speakers and makers together with audiences in a festival of faults, failures and f*ck-ups. OOPS! festival seeks to highlight many facets and understandings of failing in order to question attitudes towards failure in society and ourselves.
The festival took place in Roskilde at Åben Dans with a one day program in 2017.
We were incredibly touched by all the attendants and have decided to push the OOPS! adventures further in years to come, wanting to create a more mobile and fluid way to connecting with audiences.
We are very proud to have had the following participants at OOPS! 17:
Game designer Thomas Vigild (DK), Layla Torres Mollerup/ TeaterKUNST (DK), Liang Rui & Rebecca Ribbing/ The Museum of Failure (SE), teacher Keith Gumery (DK), Thomas Aaby Berdal - I Will Cook for Food (DK), SKRØBELIGE LIV by Sofie Lebech & Pelle Skovman (DK), TALKING HEAD by Janne Saarakkala (FIN), Philosopher Oleg Koefoed (DK), Concert by Jakob Bro (DK).
Festival board: Mika Christoffersen, Thomas Burø, Stephanie Clemente and Nina Larissa Bassett (curator)
These events could not have taken place with out the amazing contributions from: Beata, Johannes, Mathilde, Liv, Mie, Anne-Sophie, Pauline, Iben, Layla and Ida.
Supported by: The Danish Arts Council, Tuborg Fonden & DJBFA
