Enigma; CaDance; Kridt

Established in 1981, Danish Dance Theatre is one of the foremost contemporary dance companies in Scandinavia. Choreographer Tim Rushton became Artistic Director in 2001, bringing a new vision and direction to the company. Today, the company has a strong repertoire that is in demand all over the world, and is continually producing new works to both audience and media acclaim.

Enigma
Inspired by the music of J.S. Bach, Tim Rushton has used the solo cello suites (BWV 1007 – 1012) as the musical grid under his movements. The cello suites have been recorded by the cello player Johan Kulberg with an electronic soundscape by Mathias Friis-Hansen which interacts with the recorded music.

CaDance
A subtle game for six male dancers. Their bodies are like drum sticks; with minor, precise and bone-dry movements they wait for each other – and then in a split second they attach with a punctuality never expected. CaDance starts with the music as the driving force and develops into a virtuoso competition among the men on stage.

“Tim Rushton’s choreographic works become more intense, provocative and courageous. In this universe of pumping muscles and hard core energy, he opens us up to the vulnerability and relieves the pain. Absolutely beautiful.” Information

Kridt (Chalk)
While we hear the sound of someone scratching writing on the wall, a man lies on the floor and prepares to meet his fate. The two people’s eyes meet. In an unspoken, mutual understanding the two begin to rub out the text. This opens the stage for those who will retell his story: women who longed for his love and the men he has been connected with.
