Most people avoid pain. Some seek it out voluntarily, and make a living from it. The legendary fakir Håvve Fjell retires his stage persona Headmaster, with nails, needles, and blood, before a cheering audience.
For 36 years, Håvve has devoted his life to the sideshow company Pain Solution. Tonight, his career comes to an end.
Based at Blitz in Oslo, Pain Solution has given Håvve a space to explore pain through art. What drives a Norwegian, raised in the comfort of the welfare state, to choose a life shaped by pain?
