BOYS
TicketsLive music meets video art meets dance performance in DRENGE (BOYS).
Step into a space where boys will no longer be boys. The masculine energy that has shaped our understanding of the world is breaking up. BOYS is a poetic, physical confrontation with inherited masculine codes and ideals of masculinity – for a new future for free genders.
BOYS is ballet in corporate dress code. BOYS is musician Mikkel B. Grevsen’s wind instruments and electronic live music intertwined with three ballet dancers’ sensuous exploration of the male body in Sebastian Kloborg’s choreography. It’s all woven into video artist Frederik Valentin’s raw, unrefined aesthetics. Every evening he records a live video piece as a constantly changing scenographic universe. You are invited to a multi-artistic battle, where we examine our perception of the expressive body and expectations of gender and identity with the graceful aesthetics of ballet. No evening will be the same.
Based on ballet’s traditionally strongly gendered expression, the performance wishes to nuance the gender stereotypes of the past. Here, gentleness coexists with violence, comfort with disgust, power with care in a new form of physical poetry. The performance examines the strong and the porous as equals rather than opposites and challenges our expectations of who and how we are dependent on our gender.
BOYS is a co-production with the artistic team.
