LIVING ROOM Trailer

Trailer of the piece “LIVING ROOM” by the modul-dance selected artist Tina Tarpgaard.

“LIVING ROOM” is a room in motion, evoked not just by the dancers but also by an almost organically alive video scenography. The floor starts to move, the floor disappears – the space begins to breathe…It is a performance about hierarchies. Open source, 2.0 and other non-hierarchical structures are buzzwords in the 21st century – and yet, we all subject ourselves to a long line of ancient hierarchies. The world’s oldest is that between man and shadow – a hierarchy of nature that it is impossible to disobey… Or is it?Confronting the human body with a motion-sensitive scenography, “LIVING ROOM” puts a physical expression on what it means to take control or subordinate, and questions who is the puppet and who is the puppeteer – who controls whom?”LIVING ROOM” won the Danish Performing Arts Award for Best Dance Performance of the Year in 2012 (Reumert Awards).Reviews“An emotional knockout of rare magic.” Monna Dithmer, Politiken, March 17th, 2012″…captivating and exhilarating.” Madeleine Saunte, Kultunaut, March 14th, 2012”It is an incredibly successful interactive performance.” Vibeke Wern, Berlingske, March 17th, 2012“Tina Tarpgaard’s performance “LIVING ROOM” subjects the audience to marvellously imaginative dance in the wake of the apocalypse”.
