2014 “Maraudered marallal-lal’lalallal…” at Hitparaden 2

After collecting contributions from festival goers, fellow artists and random passers by, Mathias dives into a furios live performance, using a threadbare stand up comedy setting. That is: himself and a mikrophone on stage. It looked like this:

About the Artist
Nothing is known here about Mathias Tornvig, except what he states himself, which is, that, at the time of the festival in 2014, he was a student at the Jutland Art Academy.

He is one of the few people in art who leave almost no trace online.
