\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605”Aesthetically delicious about the nature of Janteloven and a beautiful entrance for Marina Mascarell’s to see her own choreographic work with Dansk Danseteater,” iscene.dk<\/p>\n
The piece explores pettiness, oppression, and herd mentality
\nThis contemporary dance performance delves into the Law of Jante, as envisioned by Marina Mascarell and the mongrel community epitomizes a group of narrow-minded individuals propelled by envy and apprehension towards the unfamiliar or new arrivals. They fail to celebrate uniqueness, instead exalting mediocrity and ensuring conformity while oppressing any divergence from the norm.<\/p>\n
“Mongrels, to me, represent the alter ego of humans. They are street dogs without any specific breed. I employ this metaphor to shed light on the outsider, the stranger, the peculiar, the different, and the unconventional amidst the norm,” Marina Mascarell.<\/p>\n
K\u00d8TER premiered in October 2015 at the Gothenburg Opera as an original piece for one of the world’s leading dance companies, G\u00f6teborgsOperans Danskompani. It received an enthusiastic response from both audiences and critics alike, earning nominations for the 2016 Barcelona Critics\u2019 Awards in categories such as Best International Performance and Best Choreography, ultimately winning the award for Best Set Design. For the Danish premiere in January 2024, an original musical composition has been crafted by the Spanish composer and cellist, Yamila R\u00edos and new costumes have been designed by Nina Botkay. Marina Mascarell have also revisited the choreography together with the dancers of Danish Dance Theatre.<\/p>\n
K\u00d8TER also received excellent reviews at its premiere in Sweden, f.ex.:<\/p>\n
SVENSKA DAGBLADET \u2013 \u201dK\u00f8ter\u201d (Mongrel) and the crowd all behave like chased animals attacking each other and seeking nearness. It is strong and touching.\u201d<\/p>\n
BORA\u2019S TIDNING \u2013 “K\u00f8ter is a collective oeuvre with absolute resonance. The delicacy in each detail is pure love \u2013 and the dancers are barking.\u201d<\/p>\n
G\u00d6TEBORG POSTEN \u2013 \u201cWhat strikes especially are Marina Mascarell\u2019s elastic and swirling movements. The choreographer engages the dancers in the most expressive way.\u201d<\/p>\n
