Harket will appear as a performer who does western interpretations of both lyrics and music from the Moroccan, Palestinian and Mexican songs in the performance.

'Morten Harket has a personal commitment which is important for the expression and power of the performance', artistic director Erik Hillestad tells Stavanger Aftenblad.

'Songs Across Walls of Separation' will be played on September 12. Using the harbour (Vågen) as a stage, various human stories will be told that have been created by walls of separation between the rich and poor parts of the world.
