Where Even Flowers Can Grow is an artistic exploration of well-being and
mental health through movement, light, sound and spatiality.
This cross-aesthetic dance performance aspires for moments of subtle and
profound collective transformations.
The experience is a tapestry woven with threads of honesty, vulnerability,
longing, dreams, and magic. It prompts reflection on the moments of
despair — questioning how we navigate through those feelings, how we
reconcile the different facets of ourselves, and ultimately, how we heal
individually and collectively.
The performance is supported by Nordisk Kulturkontakt, Nordisk Kulturfond, Augustinusfonden, William Demant Fonden og Frederiksberg Kommune.
Length 45 minutes
Premiering at Aveny-T February 20th -24th 2024,
followed by The Nordic House, Faroe Islands November 2-3rd 2024.

Earthling/s
The solo piece «Earthling/s» is inspired by ephemerality as scenographic element.
Delicately floating through an attempt to make peace between the human and more than human. By bringing earthlings from nature from the local area where the performance takes place, the audience is invited to co-create by intuitively placing the actors in the space. .
