Siri&Snelle are never happy with status quo. This time they have decided to delve into their own escapism - but what are they longing for exactly? To figure this out, they navigate their artistic map, finding tableaus of text, passiondancing, some sentimental self-scrutiny and their own ironic twist. Along for the ride, is the uncategorizable musical trio called Huntsville, who wraps it all up in a mesmerizing soundscape.

Together, these five improvisational masters invite you along to a journey without a destination - 'cause if you don´t know where you´re going…

In their search for The Great Romance, Siri&Snelle get entangled in the myth of Tristan and Isolde from the Middle Ages. It takes them on a heroic journey where they investigate Love as an indicator of happiness and success. In their path lies passion, intrigues, pathos, magic potions, eroticism and death.

In the company of composer Ivar Grydeland, Siri&Snelle enters into a dialog with Wagners opera from 1865. Wagner based his libretto on the chivalrous aspect of the tradition, which correlates well with Siri&Snelle's ambivalent attraction to the passionate and pompous.

Siri & Snelle's Land is a vegetable patch in the middle of Oslo. Here, the two glamour addicts reconnect with the earth after a trip to a country festival has transformed them into eco-wannabes. Emotions are allowed free reign, making this a nicely claustrophobic, intimate and grumpy experience. But they are not alone; they are accompanied on stage by a live band who operate in the murky waters between jazz, ambient, country and electronica. They also bring a Swedish assistant on stage, who helps them navigate between the commercial and the banal, the sad and the pathetic, the personal and the private.

Welcome to a show with great bravado and subtle messages.

” Health, Beauty and Charm” is continuing where the concept “Siri and Snelle Show” left off.

Siri and Snelle is continuing their hunt for success and have finally found their guru and hero in Terry Hunt. After giving Berlin and "the great German market" a go, they have returned with their tail between their legs, on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Terry Hunt was Hollywood's most famous glamour girl designer and personal trainer during the 40's and 50's. In his experience, it takes more than a beautiful exterior to gain success; the secret recipe is charm. Now, Siri and Snelle are hoping to salvage their careers by meticulously following Terry's advice.

The primadonnas Siri and Snelle are hungry for success...
