Morten Traavik

Morten Traavik is a Norwegian director and artist working across a wide spectrum of artistic genres and international borders. Trained as theater director in Russia and Sweden, the notion of the world as a stage and identity as role play is never far away in his works, as well as a characteristically blurred distinction between art, activism and social issues.

«His latest production, The Wastefullness Commission (Sløserikommisjonen, 2021), has caused intense controversies within the art field itself.”
