Will we be able to feel it when it happens? Will we get a warning? Or will it just go BANG! out of the blue? Is it something we do together, or do you have to stand there completely alone, right before everything ends?<\/p>\n<p>BEFORE THE END is a dance performance about the moment before everything collapses. A dystopian carnival, an absurd comedy, an SOS from a nightmare you can\u2019t wake up from.<\/p>\n<p>The performance is directed by Chilean theatre director Marco Layera, who can now be experienced in Denmark for the first time. With an uncompromising and intensely physical language that goes straight into the body, he has established himself as one of the most compelling voices on the international stage.<\/p>\n<p>In BEFORE THE END, he portrays \u2014 with both poetry and grotesque humour \u2014 the bodily sensation of living on the edge of collapse: the panic, the anxiety, the release, and the hope that someone will do something.<\/p>\n<p>BEFORE THE END invites the audience into the most frightening moment we can imagine, to feel what it\u2019s like to stand on the edge \u2014 and dare to remain there, together.<\/p>\n<p>Join us, before it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NB<\/strong> There will be strobe light in the performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With Support from\u00a0<\/strong>Augustinus Fonden, Bikubenfonden, Aage og Johanne Louis-Hansens Fond, Knud H\u00f8jgaards Fond, Beckett-Fonden, Hoffmann og Husmands fond<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECTION<\/strong> Marco Layera<br \/>\n<strong>CHOREOGRAPHY\u00a0<\/strong>Marco Layera, Kristin Bjerkestrand, Amancio Gonzales, Wolf Govaerts, Lukas Hartvig-M\u00f8ller, Jessica Lyall, Lola Potiron, Yi-Shao Li, Leticia Silva, Carlos Luis Blanco Ramos, Bradley Waller, Reiko Ohta, Matilde Stefanini<br \/>\n<strong>DANCERS<\/strong> Kristin Bjerkestrand, Amancio Gonzales, Wolf Govaerts, Lukas Hartvig-M\u00f8ller, Jessica Lyall, Lola Potiron, Yi-Shao Li, Leticia Silva, Carlos Luis Blanco Ramos, Bradley Waller, Reiko Ohta, Matilde Stefanini<br \/>\n<strong>SET AND COSTUME DESIGNER<\/strong> Fredrik Floen<br \/>\n<strong>LIGHTING DESIGNER<\/strong> Ulrik Gad<br \/>\n<strong>COMPOSER<\/strong> Damien Bazin<br \/>\n<strong>ARTISTIC CONSULTANT<\/strong>\u00a0Carolina de la Maza<br \/>\n<strong>DRAMATURGE <\/strong>Tom Silkeberg<br \/>\n<strong>ARTISTIC RESEARCH<\/strong> Quim Bigas<br \/>\n<strong>PHOTO<\/strong> Petra Kleis<\/p>\n<p>The performance is developed in a co-creative process with all participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-6811","forestilling","type-forestilling","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.danskdanseteater.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/forestilling\/6811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.danskdanseteater.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/forestilling"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.danskdanseteater.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/forestilling"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.danskdanseteater.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
