“Rarely have you seen such an accomplished uni-sex dance performance. Gender is irrelevant here, and sexuality is irrelevant here. Here, everyone is turned on by everyone… DDT’s ten dancers in Bloody Moon are ‘bloody good’.” Information “The ten dancers of DDT’s wonderful company moved throughout the story as coherently as only a coherent living organism can.” Scneblog
A COLORFUL AND FABULOUS CELEBRATION OF LIFE IN ALL ITS GLORY
STUNNING COSTUMES, LIVELY DANCE, AND QUIRKY HUMOR
BLOODY MOON is a vibrant and sensual dance performance brimmed with humor. Here, a group dances their final dance while embracing life in all its splendor. Aware of life’s final and ready to overcome by a dizzying sensation as they approach the abyss. BLOODY MOON is inspired by the famous work of the French thinker Georges Bataille on desire, eroticism, liberation, and madness, and marks the first world premiere for Danish Dance Theatre’s artistic director, Marina Mascarell. Mascarell has created works for some of the world’s most renowned companies, including Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), Australian Opera Ballet, GöteborgOperans Danskompani and Skånes Dansteater.
A DELIGHTFUL FEAST OF COLORFUL TABLEAUX
BLOODY MOON is a fireworks display of ecstasy and humanity’s primal instincts, with references to ancient deities, the commedia dell’arte tradition, and the Instagram era, where everyone chases the ultimate Insta-moment. On stage, the dancers embody, among other things, the fertility god Dionysus’s principles of pleasure, excess, chaos, transgression, play, festivity, and ecstasy—with a twist of madness.
LACE IS BLOODY HOT
The performance is visually stunning, featuring playful, deep-green creations, blood-red lace, and purple tulle, all surprisingly and comically integrated into the choreography. The music is rhythmic and lively, with percussion samples from Uffe Savery from Safri Duo, and the performance takes place on a beautifully decorated stage floor created by Marina Mascarell and the company’s dancers themselves. Without a doubt, BLOODY MOON is a performance that spreads joy and a zest for life, and we look forward to presenting it to audiences all around the country.
