Andrea Albernaz_ Isla Collective with: CASA
CASA Project is an artistic collaboration between the actress Andrea Albernaz and the director and dramaturg Georges Perla. This project arises after the need of the actress to be able to tell her history, the history of the houses and places where she has lived, using her memories, sometimes confusing, often messy, to create the narrative and dramaturgy of the story. The current moment in which we have lived is not neglected either: a global pandemic, the isolation, confinement and being an inhabitant of our most intimate solitudes.
Idea: Andrea Albernaz & Georges Perla
Director and playwright: Georges Perla
Co-instructor: Juliana Appel
Pr & Communication: Elena Stanciu

David Enoch Sosman with: Musical bartender juggling
David Enoch Sosman is the 8th generation of a partly Danish and French circus family. His father was a well-known French clown and comedian and his mother a well-known trapeze artist from the family behind Cirkus Dannebrog. At the age of 12, David began to practice the art of juggling. David has traveled the world with his juggling number and won several international awards. In 2016, David was in connection with a show in Rome, and was invited to the Vatican to perform for the Pope.
Now David wants to perform a new and original act – a musical bartender juggling number where he juggles and balances with bottles and glasses. During the piece, David uses classic circus elements and ties it together into a modern act.
Copenhagen International Arts Collective with: Midsummer Solos:
Misty Heather / Cherry Blossoms / Wilting Flowers
Midsummer Solos is a multidisciplinary project, where the ephemerality of choreography inspire a selection of physical artworks created by the participating dancers. The bodily and the material in conversation with each other, rooted in Nordic folk and neoclassical steps.
In this sharing, audiences will get a taster of the project, when Copenhagen International Arts Collective test the three short solos in front of an audience for the first time. Each solo is inspired by imagery taken from landscapes and allows the soft and feminine to take up space as a contrast to the toughness of the world.
Copenhagen International Arts Collective gathers international and local artists in a producing community in Copenhagen.
Work by Rachel Kealy
Feelings are, by definition, hard to put into words. Anxiety lives among us, but can we tell who is panicking? Are we panicking? Shifting between fear and reaching out towards the light, Rachael takes you on a journey in an attempt to capture the kind of panic we can sometimes feel, but rarely see.
Rachael is an Irish aerial artist training with The Circus Playground at Dynamo, she is a hula hooper and marine biologist living living in Denmark. She spends many hours researching the complexity of everyone’s favourite animal, the sponge. She is sensitive to changes in people around her and wishes we would express our panic more often, instead of in silence.
OPEN STAGE is presented in collaboration with The Circus Playground.
Free admission – book your ticket in advance.
