Us
A look into the everyday lives of two special Homo Sapiens Idioticus. They are partners-in-crime who love to seek out the dangerous – especially knives, lots of knives.

Resonans
Resonance is a site-specific walking performance inspired by the Odense Harbour and its surrounding area. The interplay between dance, music and architecture opens up a renewed understanding of time and space, past and present. Civilization is built on stories. Stories that harm some and benefit others. Resonance seeks to destabilize narratives that are presented as […]
Make sense
The neurological phenomenon of synesthesia, in which the senses blend together, is brought to life in the performance Make Sense. Here, every sense is awakened through elements such as shifts in temperature, the diffusion of scents, and interactive video projection, creating a truly unique and immersive audience experience.
Decripit beauty
Newly composed music, sculptural scenography, and physical dance converge in a space where bodies grapple with materials, walls, and gravity. Surfaces crack. Structures collapse. Something is forced to the surface..

Narrative Scripts
NARRATIVE SCRIPTS takes us behind the scenes and sheds light on the manipulative mechanisms of the media. In the tension between theatre, dance and performance, the performance embraces power, community and herd mentality. Who actually controls the narratives? Who is pulling the strings?
Kruskelusk

Living Layers
We meet four young women navigating an archive of memories. Stories emerge through soaring tightrope work, the swirling Cyr wheel, powerful partner acrobatics, and expressive acro dance.
