Dansehallerne and guest curator

Thjerza Balaj are excited to welcome you to New Sh*t Vol. 6.

This evening multi-hyphenate artist Thjerza Balaj has put together a program of four works by younger choreographers from Scotland, France, Greece and Hungary. The choreographers are all in the top twenty in Europe right now as part of the European network Aerowaves The Twenty22.

In this special international edition of New Sh*t Vol. 6 you will experience three solos and a quartet. As a rider taming a wild horse, Courtney May Robertson looks at the struggle between embracing one’s desires and regulating behaviour in accordance with societal pressures. In a quartet by Andreas Hannes the magnetism and binding between bodies and space intensifies and creates a tantalising atmosphere for an otherworldly dance. In a solo, Alexandre Fandard rehabilitates “the youth from the suburbs” as a symbol. Gergő D. Farkas investigates the collapsing borders between the living and the inorganic, the existing and the unreal by approaching the body as an apparatus driven by impulses and emotions.

After the performances we invite you to a festive hangout with DJ Nah Care and open bar.

Guest Curator Thjerza Balaj about the program:

“I’m thrilled to present New Sh*t Vol. 6, consisting of four brilliant works that I experienced last spring during the Aerowaves festival in Athens. Electric, fastpaced, sharp, eerie, sensitive - their urgent and uncompromising approach is what caught my eye. The pieces stand strong individually as well as next to each other and the varying tempos and expressions of the performances create the perfect emotional dramaturgy for the evening. From sunny Greece to cold northwest with love.”
