Knut Åsdam

Legendary Psychasthenia , 1998

co-written by Onomé Ekeh

24 min radio play. Broadcast on Norwegian Public Radio, NRK, in May and June 1998
as part of the UKS Biennial 1998

The piece sought to work with the conventions of radio and the diverse and temporary audience composition that radio has. Some people tune in religiously to one program, others listen to it by accident in the store, in a car or at the dentist.

Utilising a mixture of actors and musicians the piece is a narrative flow of monologues, dialogues and narratively textured sound. It deals with a notion of the city's unconscious and a sense of dissipation of desire into the city fabric. It mixes humour and consciously pathetic narrative with serious monologues and emphatic texts.
