A desperate mermaid, women galloping in slow motion, silly songs and Spanish rhythms by Israeli choreographer Roy Assaf, a master of combining the outlandish with the serious. In his first work for Danish Dance Theatre, we meet several wacky characters in a collage of satirical vignettes, drawn from the artist’s wish to create the ultimate and perfect show. It is not always easy.
