DANSETEATER INGRID KRISTENSEN, Odense, DENMARK.
DANCE & SCENT - Introduction
THE UGLY DUCKLING, Ingrid Kristensen, Choreographer.
A 22-minute solo performance inspired by Danish author Hans Christian
Andersen’s tale. The story of a duckling from the inside out, it comprises
images of birth, discovery of the world and growing awareness that one
is different. It touches upon themes of journeying, uprootedness, cutting
the umbilical cord and being attacked by villains - ghosts from within
and without - and after a long and painful journey, taking one’s place
and contemplating the possibility of spreading one’s wings. But because
beauty is not perfect, not even the swan’s, no one really knows what
lies behind its blissful appearance.
THE LITTLE MERMAID, Ingrid Kristensen, Choreographer.
A lyric piece, a love poem set in a world that shifts between water and
air, reality and dreams. It depicts a state of mind, an emotional condition
and, above all, a journey toward independence. The Little Mermaid is
poetry and sensuality, beauty and powerful acrobatics.
