Voksenforestilling
The Mirror Project er et nyt koreografisk værk i krydsfeltet mellem performance og installation, som har premiere på Det Frie Felts Festival. To dansere, finske Taneli Törmä og danske Cecilie Schyth Kjær, performer over for nogle store spejle, hvis position og vinkling ændres både vertikalt og horisontalt undervejs. Publikum kan, alt afhængig af hvor de sidder i salen, følge et fascinerende spil mellem spejle og performere: Er fokus på performerne som subjekter og deres bevægelser, eller er det snarere på bevægelserne som objekt i spejlbilledet? Eller veksler blikket konstant mellem de to udtryk? Værket er oprindeligt udviklet i flere forløb på Aaben Dans i Roskilde og Udviklingsplatformen for Scenekunst i København samt Åbne Scene og Bora Bora i Aarhus.

Adult performance
The Mirror Project is a new choreographic work in the cross-field between performance and installation, which will receive its premiere at Selected Works. Two dancers, Finnish Taneli Törma and Danish Cecilie Schyth Kjær, perform in front of some large mirrors, the position and angle of which change both vertically and horizontally along the way. Depending on where they sit in the hall, the audience can follow a fascinating interplay between mirrors and performers: Is the focus on the performers as subjects and their movements, or is it rather on the movements as objects reflected in the mirror? Or does the gaze constantly alternate between the two expressions? The work was originally developed in several programmes at Åben Dans in Roskilde and the Development Platform for the Performing Arts in Copenhagen, as well as at Aabne Scene and Bora Bora in Aarhus.
