Magga Bjarnadóttir is an Icelandic artist and choreographer who works at the intersection of dance, performance, visual arts and literature. Her diverse practice includes choreography, performance, photography and video, text pieces, writing, drawing and cutting glass objects.

For the Performance Programme at CHART 2024, Magga Bjarnadóttir performed ‘PEOPLE PLEASE.’ During the performance, a group of people walked around Kongens Nytorv with protest signs that had text pieces by the artists written on them. Unlike protest signs, which normally aim to be clear and direct and not open to misunderstanding, here, the messages are deliberately left open and ambiguous.
