The Horizon

The Royal Theater and Aaben Dans are coproducing the performance!

Aaben Dans’ artistic duo the choreographer Thomas Eisenhardt and the fivefold Reumert-awarded director Catherine Poher have through their many year of co-creation developed a characteristic artistic language, which we will now see fully unfolded on the Big Stage of The Royal Theatre.

‘The Horizon’ pays tribute to a beautiful and cruel world in a performance where 22 performers from classical ballet and modern dance, circus, opera, physical and classical theater are on the stage. Dance, song, acting, music and visual effects are united in front of a wealth of impressive backcloths from The Royal Theaters’ historical repertoire.

Life is everywhere, but do we notice it? ‘The Horizon’ does. From the basic rules of natural laws to the poetic whirr of wings, the performance embraces what we don´t always make notice of – the pure sight and the wonderful feeling, when we in earnest are capable to see the world around us.

Artistic photographer Per Bak Jensen and physicist and poet Salim Abdali contribute bring from each their corner of the world to the artistic quest the reality into vision. Carina Persson designs the light and Paolo Cadona the shadows in Rikke Juellunds’ scenography of historical backcloth to the sound of Jennos music.

In 2010 Catherine Poher staged the audience success ‘On the other side’ at The Royal Theater. Her big passion is to develope a poetic and visual stage language, that can be experienced by all generations together – with a sensual presence, aesthetic uncompromising, existential themes and humor.
