te Orts Exhibition: Dora Garcia Theatre: Orfeus stiger ner French TV, 1978 – Jacques Lacan is asked a question and responds: “I always tell the truth, but not all of the truth”. That quote provides the title for the artist Dora Garcia’s new exhibition (I Always Tell The Truth) at Bonniers Konsthall, and also for a text that will be included in the exhibition. Also included are film clips, drawings and performances, exploring the idea of truth and information in the age of fake news. The exhibition also includes her new film Segunda Vez, which looks at the work of Argentinian writer Oscar Masotta. Dora Garcia, Bonniers Konsthall, on display until Feb 17 Battle of Angels was the first play written by Tennessee Williams to be produced, which opened in 1940 and flopped. Later, Williams reworked it into Orpheus Descending, a play that sticks to the classic Tennessee themes of passion causing chaos and violence in previously small, quiet lives. And like another Tennessee classic, it later became a film with Marlon Brando in the lead role. Norwegian director Runar Hodne helms this adaption at Dramaten, which premieres in January. Orfeus stiger ner, Dramaten, opens Jan 25 Gig: The Japanese House The Japanese House’s music is a tribute to carefully constructed, airy pop music. Amber Bain’s released a couple of EPs over the last few years, each consisting of origamilayered, flowing creations that sit on the border of mainstream pop and more house music leanings. She’s now dropped two singles in 2018, Lilo and Follow My Girl, which is a good sign that a bigger project is on the way soon. The Japanese House plays Nalen in January.
