New Nordic Poling

NNP is a movement of eight activist pole dancers who “poles 4 change”. The performance unfolds at NNP’s annual recruitment meeting, where their documentary has its premiere. The audience follows the movement as they create banners, challenge Extinction Rebellionon May 1st in Sydhavnen, and travel to Svalbard to “Pole 4 the melting pole” with their new portable pole.

In an immersive setup blending live action with film screening, the audience follows NNP’s highs and lows as they plan happenings and strive to practice what they preach, while facing the unexpected challenges of activist group work. NNP is about resilience, hopelessness and the (im)possible pursuit of collective meaning.
