GIVE A CONTEMPORARY DANCE EXPERIENCE AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT ♥

From January 17 Denmarks largest and foremost contemporary dance company Dansk Danseteaterpreforms KØTER (MONGREL) at the Royal Danish Opera’s small stage.
The starting point for the creation of the work was Janteloven, where the fictitious code of behavior is presented as part of the Scandinavian identity. A behavior that choreographer and Danish Dance Theatre’s new artistic director Marina Mascarell recognizes from her own Spanish culture.

KØTER premiered at the Göteborg Opera as an original work for the GöteborgsOperans Danskompani. Audience and critics’ reactions were extremely positive and the piece was nominated by the Barcelona Critics’ Awards 2016 for Best International Performance, Best Choreography and Best Set Design. The performance won for Best Set Design.

🎅🎅For many, the sweet Christmas season is also about rejoicing, counting down and looking forward to the big day. However, in many Danish homes, you count down with the help of an Advent wreath with four candles, where one candle is lit every Sunday leading up to Christmas.
In an otherwise very dark time, these candles bring some light and some holiday spirit to Danish homes.🎅🎅
Every Sunday leading up to Christmas we’ll give away an advent gift.
Check out our post this coming Sunday 26 th of November for our first give away advent gift.

THE DUMB WAITER, Krudttønden by That Theatre Company 27 th September- 21st October by Harold Pinter.

All you have to do is respond to this question:
When did Harold Pinter write The Dumb Waiter?

Lars Mikkelsen and Ian Burns put the most beautiful Cockney accent in the mouths of the two assassins who impatiently walk around waiting for their orders and next victim – their next job.
The Dumb Waiter is a dark, one-act comedy by Harold Pinter written in 1957 that combines the staccato rhythms of music-hall cross-talk and the urban thriller.
