- **Event Description**: Meeting Baldwin

This interactive performance explores the life and work of James Baldwin (1924–1987), focusing on the personal resonance his writing holds for the performer-puppeteer. Through a life-sized puppet version of Baldwin, staged in conversation with the puppeteer, the piece creates a dialogue between artist and subject. As Baldwin and characters from his novels come to life as puppets, they mirror and give voice and reason to multicultural queer life today.

Varun the Puppeteer

Varun is a queer puppeteer who blurs the boundaries between art and academics. They designs and fabricates their own puppets, as well as researches and scripts their performances. They came to Norway as an artist in residence with Safemuse, where they have fabricated and performed many performances with life sized puppets.

They performed at the Safe-havens conference in Athens, 2023, and later in several stagings at Nordic Black Theatre, for the Oslo Drag Festival 2024 and Oslo Pride 2024 and 2025, Barents Pride 2024 and at The Art of Drag Conference by Oslo MET
