A tribute to the diversity of queer experiences and stories, and an exploration of the complex bond between emancipation and heritage.
With his own history and heritage under the microscope, Corentin JPM Leven delves into his Celtic roots and childhood in the Breton countryside, a landscape where queer stories are largely absent. Diwriziennet, meaning “uprooted” in Breton, symbolizes a movement away from imposed social identities and towards a self-defined queer identity.

The performance emerges from a sense of absence and a longing for queer narratives within one’s own cultural legacy. Together with choreographer Ulf Nilseng, Leven creates a scenic archive of what is missing, a space for memories, longing, and identities excluded from the official narrative. Through dance and scenography, a space for reflection and recognition is created, offering a celebration of queer experiences and stories — performing culture, and performing queerness.
In collaboration with Trondheim Pride
About the artist
Corentin JPM Productions is a Norwegian performing arts company established in Oslo that pays special interest to queer narratives, notably around sexual health. Their first performance, +- (2019), explored a recent HIV diagnosis through the prism of Grief in psychology, explaining the personal and collective scale of such a diagnosis in modern times. The second work, Birds of Ill Omen (2021), continued this exploration by involving fabulations and medical definitions of the queer body. Corentin JPM Productions has toured in Norway, Estonia, and the United States.
