No
Dreams,
No
Gold
2025

No Dreams, No Gold might be a performance about pauses. But it may also be about structure, about performing one's own material, digressions, wet dreams, and electroacoustic music, about absence, about how and when one drinks coffee, about the ordinary and the extraordinary.

Ingrid Berger Myhre is a Norwegian dance artist based in Brussels. She holds a master’s degree in choreography, research, and performance. As a former amateur percussionist, she is now considering whether to make a comeback or retire completely.

Composer and musician Lasse Passage began studying composition at the Grieg Academy in Bergen and completed his bachelor’s degree in sonology (the study of sound) at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. His practice as a singer-songwriter wonderfully complicates his already diverse musical identity.

Ingrid and Lasse have different experiences and perspectives, but they share a space for negotiations that arise when they meet at the periphery of their own expertise. As a result, No Dreams, No Gold is a performance that takes refreshing liberties as it slides between a wide range of genres: from erotic radio dramas to hubris lectures and ruthless one-man bands.

  • "Seeing your work with Lasse Passage last night, I felt delighted that you found a partner in crime. I thought about my closest friends and collaborators, and what a joy it is to find people who trust you, who see what you see, people who might say "ok I can't believe I'm doing this but if you believe it's great, I trust you."

    Claire LefèvreImagetanz, brut, Vienna

  • "It is precisely the revealing and heartfelt nature of creating art that Myhre and Passage succeed in conveying, in addition to all its peculiar practicalities."

    Eline BjerkanScenekunst.no

  • “No Dreams, No Gold is a sweet and witty performance about human beings digging for creativity. (…) There’s a drive in the performance that takes us seamlessly from the everyday and clumsy to a nerdy, almost philosophical look at artistic production.”

    Eline BjerkanScenekunst.no

  • "The performance is naïve in expression and philosophical in style, without being pompous. (…) The stage language is implemented in all its variety. No Dreams, No Gold is not a spectacular performance that blows you away, but the pedestrian style and the low-key tone charms and convinces. It's sweet and entertaining, varied and effortless.”
