Get ready to experience Danish Dance Theatre’s new Artistic Director Marina Mascarell’s first World Premiere for Danish Dance Theatre. Mascarell has created works for some of the world’s largest dance companies, including Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), and now audiences can finally witness a new work for and with the company’s dancers. BLOODY MOON is inspired by Georges Bataille’s work “Eroticism” and becomes a celebration of the three forms of eroticism: the eroticism of the body, the eroticism of the heart, and the sacred eroticism, with newly composed music and beats by Yamila Rios and playful costumes by Nina Botkay. Like any good celebration, transgression is precisely what gives it a wonderful and divine aspect. We, as audience members, witness the debauchery: the final dance of a group eager to live life in all its splendour, aware of its finitude and united by the common feeling of dizziness towards the abyss.
