Åbne Scene
Work in process: THE WINTERWAR -A Relative Relationship Drama
Artist in residence: BRAVO TOGA
Residency: 17. august – 1. september
“..in a world of war and biodiversity collapse, why is it, that I worry the most about my private, most heartbreaking failures? How the most recent bad breakup, always seem to get in the way of a greater deed. How the final count- down seems to always be disrupted by something basic and urgent, like human beings mental or physical capacity, or just the need to pee badly.”
Et historisk og autofiktivt langrends-drama
Med morbid humor og et potentielt fejlende setup ønsker det nordiske performance-kollektiv BRAVO TOGA at undersøge de tragiske øjeblikke i vores liv. Gennem ski-ballettens forsvunde (men ikke glemte) disciplin udforskes følelsen af en formodet sjov familietur, der mislykkes. Et udstillings- vindue til hverdagens absurde øjeblikke – det, der sker, når der er skruet op for de helt store forventninger, men intet går som planlagt. Under opholdet på Åbne Scene undersøger BRAVO TOGA hvad der sker, når ski-ballet på rulleski møder den finske krigshistorie, men kontinuerligt afbrydes af et ”Scener fra et ægteskabs”-lignende drama.
Work in process visningen d. 1. september kl. 16 er gratis, men kræver tilmelding via billet her.

A historical and auto-fictive cross country skiing drama
With morbid humor and a potentially failing setup, the cross nordic performance collective BRAVO TOGA entertain the tragic moments of our lives. Through the gone-but-not-forgotten discipline of ski-ballet they explore the feeling of a supposedly fun family trip that fails. Giving a pedestal to the absurd moments of everyday life when nothing goes as planned and colli- des with one’s larger-than-life expectations. During their stay at Åbne Scene, BRAVO TOGA will research what happens when ski ballet on rollerskis meets the Finnish warhistory, but continuously gets interrupted with ”Scenes from a marriage”-like drama.
The work-in-process performance on the 1th of september at 16 o’clock is free, but please book your seat here.
