We look forward to finally sharing Perceval with you! After the premiere in Aarhus in October, it’s now time to open the doors for the performance here in Copenhagen.

We are to enjoy four dancers in fluid movement and a soft rhythm melting into a multi textured entity composed of dance, light, colour and soundscape. In Perceval, we see the sensorial elements before us fragmenting and regrouping into various constellations and mixtures. In delicate costumes, the dancers fold and unfold, they spiral into and out of each other, warping time as they make the space breathe. They arrive at the base from where everything can happen, and they each find their way.

The inspirational source of the performance is taken from the image series by Hilma af Klint titled Parsifal from 1916.
