MEETING PLACE: In front of the HUMAC store at N\u00f8rreport Station, Frederiksborggade 11
\nWHAT: Choreographed performance walk
\nDURATION: 50 min.<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through the Wall takes you on a choreographed walk through the urban landscape and shows you the city from a new angle.<\/p>\n

Follow the three performers through central Copenhagen, where cars and people hurry through or gather to eat, drink or play ball. The performers appear out of the blue to disappear again as they play, investigate and interact with the architecture of the urban landscape.<\/p>\n

Bodies slamming against walls, melting down stairs and rolling through grass… They let you rediscover the contrast and beauty that this accumulation of cement, metal, flesh and bone, that we call a city, possesses.<\/p>\n

The performance examines the body’s encounter with urban reality and brings life and vitality to otherwise anonymous places where the body is not normally expressed. Taking inspiration from the city’s movements and the forms of the architecture, the dancers add an expressive layer to the familiar surroundings and intensify the experience of the city’s texture, mood and movement.<\/p>\n

The performance is created for and performed in unique versions in Copenhagen, Helsing\u00f8r (Passage Festival 27-30 July) and K\u00f8ge (12-14 August).<\/p>\n

TO BREAK THROUGH THE WALL \u2013 THOUGHTS FROM THE CHOREOGRAPHER<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the Wall transports you to the NOW. Where you open your eyes to the surroundings. Where you step out of everyday life and the expected and suddenly see the place you are standing, feeling it, taking it in.<\/em><\/p>\n

The ordinary can be quite extraordinary. It is the wall of the familiar and the expected that we are trying to break through. I hope to make you see the magical, poetic and powerful in something everyday-like.<\/em><\/p>\n

And so, for once, let’s question the normal. What is the normal thing to do here? Why is what is happening now so abnormal?<\/em><\/p>\n

We add simple, expressive actions to a place to make it part of your story, which you have to compose all by yourself inside your head.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
