JOSEPH_KIDS

The critically acclaimed and humorous production JOSEPH_KIDS was created by the world-renowned Italian performer Alessandro Sciaroni, who won the Golden Lion for his lifetime contribution to dance at the Venice Biennale in 2019.

JOSEPH_KIDS has already toured and delighted children in more than ten European countries, and now the Danish Dance Theatre has been given the opportunity to present the show to a young audience here in Denmark. JOSEPH_KIDS is pure computer magic, bridging the gap between the digital and analogue worlds and demonstrating how technology can also provide scope for creativity. In the performance, we meet a man who plays with his own reflection through a computer screen, giving rise to Wild West duels, budding friendships, superheroes and strange projections. The technology triggers the performer’s physicality, causing him to move in ways he never thought possible.

The piece has been performed at venues including the Festival d’Automne à Paris, Le 104 – Paris, MAC – Créteil, the Biennale de la Danse de Lyon, the Toto Festival – Île de la Réunion, The Place – London, Bolzano Danza, the Festival Theaterformen – Hanover, the Mercat de les Flors – Barcelona, and Charlerois Danse.

Look forward to experiencing this high-energy, fun-filled performance, which turns our view of technology slightly on its head.

After the performance, all children (who wish to) can take part in a workshop with Dansk Danseteater, focusing on movement and technology. The workshop is included in the ticket price and lasts approx. 20 mins.

The performance is suitable for children aged 5 and over
