C&C Company in Hølen 2015!

C&C Company came to Sånafest June 2015 and stayed for a week in the home of Nicole and Torbjørn.
During the week they worked together with the daughter of the house, Mali, and integrated her into their piece called ¨015 ¨!

We are extremely happy to have had this opportunity and to finally show you all how it ended up through the lense of L-P Lorentzen who filmed and edited it for us.

See more about the piece at their web site http://www.ceccompany.org/
