Artists and groups - presentation of performances

BO!NG (THOMAS SANDBERG): Inter_Face
This musical multi-media solo performance investigates the confrontation between the human and the technological world. All video and audio material is created live on stage through a diversity of electronic gadgets. (Music Drama, 2009, 60 min)

CANTABILE2: Haiku
Director Nullo Facchini creates highly visually charged landscapes which are often loaded with physical presence and individuality. As a beautiful poem of images in movement HAIKU creates an unrhythmical universe of sensual experiences. The naked and essential body is shown through raw and detailed snapshots. (Performance, 2009, 75 min)

DANISH DANCE THEATRE: CaDance 
This major dance company goes from strength to strength and with Tim Rushton’s individual style and close collaboration with the dancers, they have bridged many boundaries of style and technique. CaDance is a curious and underacted play between 6 men: 4 dancers and 2 musicians. (Dance, 2009, 10 min)

DANISH DANCE THEATRE: Frost
Combining the seducing energy of the dancers with a tantalizing use of new technologies, Danish choreographer Tina Tarpgaard entices us into the world of ‘Frost’. Frost is a performance including techniques of responsive video scenography, motion sensing and time slicing. (Dance, 2009, 60 min)

GRANHØJ DANS: (…It’s a Very Big Secret…)
This is Palle Granhøj’s third performance portrait where he focuses on the fusion of man and artist. This time it is dancer, singer and musician Anne Eisensee who is on stage – a completely compelling personality.  From a more abstract style Palle Granhøj has now moved towards a more personal and concrete language which always attracts huge acclaim amongst international audiences. (Dance, 2009, 60 min)

HELLO!EARTH: Tomorrow Everything Will be Different
Tested at the Metropolis Biennale in Copenhagen last month and developed in Rio de Janeiro and Jerusalem this piece is based on re-mapping your city. A “do-it-yourself performance walk” where the daily reality becomes the “theatre setting” and allows coincidences to interweave with intended actions. (Performance, Site Specific, 2009, 60 min)

HOLBÆK THEATRE: Hostage – A Story Out of the Real
Bus ride staged as a hostage drama focusing on a delicate but relevant issue: Men with other ethnic background than Danish forced into arranged marriages. The borders between audience and play, reality and fiction are completely broken down. (Theatre, Site Specific, 2007, 90 min)

HOLLAND HOUSE: Under Is (Under Ice)
Lead by prolific director Jacob F. Schokking, who won last season’s “Danish Director of the Year” award, the visually powerful style of Holland House frames German dramatist’s Falk Richter’s extremely relevant critique of western neo-liberalism through the story of Paul Niemand, a man in his mid-forties. They are calling his name at the airport, but he doesn’t move. For once he’s not efficient. Will this change his life? To the music / sounds of FM Einheit from the iconic band Einstürzende Neubauten. (Theatre, 2009, 100 min)

HOTEL PRO FORMA (house visit)
Hotel Pro Forma displaces the notion of theatre into new territories that lie between art and non-art, theatre and non-theatre, between the physical and the metaphysical expression. Performances occupy a space between construction and sensation, consciousness and intuition, concrete and abstract.

HUSETS TEATER: Non-Stop
A hugely ambitious project by Simon Boberg created over a period of one year, partly in New York. With a combination of metaphysical science theory, actual theatre and poetic animation theatre this space adventure, starring the lonesome Major Tom, seeks to answer the mysteries of the universe – only to end up with even more unanswered questions. (2008, 75 min, extract 35 min)

KITT JOHNSON / X-ACT: Mellemrum # 1
Kitt Johnson creates magical, focussed, timeless and all consuming moments with her tiny bodymass . A site-specific dance solo with live music to be performed in an underground parking lot - between raw walls of concrete. With electro-acoustic manipulations blended with the noise of the ventilation system this nowhere land comes alive. (Dance, Site Specific, 2008, 20 min)

MUNGO PARK: Sandholm
An honest picture of the people living behind the walls of Denmark's largest asylum centre. With a rotating bunk bed and a pile of t-shirts a simple story about dreams and frustrations of fight for life is created. (Theatre, 2006, 120 min, extract 30 min)

MUTE COMP: Grasping the Floor with the Back of my Head
The perfect opening event for p@rt. An intense and baroque dance performance with live music by the magical Nordic electronic band Valravn (nominated for 3 Danish Music Awards 2008). Four dancers are trying to survive hell on earth, while four brilliant musicians on 22 instruments create a mysterious soundscape. (Dance / Performance / Music Theatre, 2008, 90 min)

NEANDER / KRISTJÁN INGIMARSSON: Creature
This hugely gifted Icelandic multi talented performer Kristján Ingimarsson with his no holds barred style has created a theatre montage about the human being as creative and self-fashioning individuals. Seven musical scenes with visually stunning costumes by Anja Vagn Kragh, a former designer for Christian Dior and Stella McCartney. (Theatre, 2008, 75 min, extract 20 min)

NEXT ZONE: Symphony in Slang
In a surprisingly new choreographic language, where the body is constantly twisted into extremes, break dance and hip hop fuses with Tex Avery’s humorous and wild cartoon universe. (Dance, 2007, 35 min, extract 15 min)

NINNA STEEN: Faustus
A visual mind experiment where real characters and 3D illusions interact in a web of half, split and false identities. With Mr. Ordinary contra Faustus, who is played by a compelling Stuart Lynch, at the centre, evil itself discusses the disillusion and self-deception of man. Thought provoking performance with the stringency of a lecture and the decadence of a cabaret. (Dance / Performance, 2008, 90 min)

PAOLO NANI / KOSMOCOMICO: The Shocking Puppet Show
Another tour de force from the irrepressible Paolo Nani whose ability to create chaotic and hugely humorous situations releases another visual theatrical performance. This piece mixes velvet, retro, circus, fireworks and kitsch. The many characters are dolls in different sizes together with actors - and music, which is very much alive. (2009, 55 min, extract 20 min)

PUBLIC EYE / SARA GEBRAN: La Santa Lucha VS Royal  Rumble
Sara Gebran is a passionate artist, who creates uniquely engaged, provoking and relevant performances. This one is inspired by the mythological, political and social aspects of Mexican ‘Lucha Libre’ (free-fight-wrestling). This mix of lecture and performance lets two dancers meet and fight invited guests in search of a local hero. Anything can happen! (Interactive Performance, 2008, 60 min, extract 40 min)

RECOIL PERFORMANCE GROUP: Body Navigation
Choreographer Tina Tarpgaard’s pioneering work with media and dance has lead to many exciting works. Two dancers and their digital reproduction is the scenographic frame of this humorous and emotional portrait of human relations. Based on rules and structured in a game-like manner, the installation makes way for a playful dialogue between man, woman and the digital “footprints” they leave behind. (Dance / Performance, 2008, 30 min)

TEATERKUNST: Facebus
The FACEBUS is a free mobile community, party, place to meet - a new community to find new profiles and link people in the night like a living Facebook. Passers-by are asked to log-in and share profiles, questions, dreams and concerns with a number of artists, who will fill the bus with videos, music, interviews, discussions, dance challenges, games and much more. (Site Specific Performance in a bus, 2009, 60 min) 

THEATRE RIO ROSE: Battle Field
A beautifully crafted, sensitive and poignant choreographed theatrical collage in fragmented yet recognizable sequences from this company which constantly tours internationally. Battle Field portrays conflicts and love on several levels – private, public and global. Nominated as best “small” production of the year. (2007, 55 min)

[WEGO]: Completely Simultaneously
This one really has brought in herds of young audiences to the theatre. Highly energetic and completely laid back with a streak of self conscious humour. Three dancers and four musicians interweave dance and music while toying with concert and dance floor rituals. Dancers act like human instruments, and the musicians can’t stand still! (Dance / music drama, 60 min)

[WEGO]: An Assisted Solo #3
A humorous duet revolving around the function of ‘assisting’. The dancer and the guitarist are constantly fighting about control of the stage. Who is assisting who? (Dance / music drama, 40 min, extract 20 min)


CONTEMPORARY CIRCUS
We have put together an exciting and stimulating compilation of Danish contemporary circus: Mille Lundt (Somewhere / Nowhere), Teatro GLIMT / Camilla Sarrazin (Two Faces), Samuel Gustavsson (Night for One), TinCanCompany(Fish), Teatro GLIMT /Lars Gregersen (Sisyphus Ascending) and Company Jean/Jens Sigsgaard (Hangtime) - (130 min).
