SHROUD
“SHROUD” is a captivating visual theatre experience that explores love, memory, and transformation. Set in a dreamlike world, it brings buried emotions to life through stunning visuals, delicate gestures, and fluid stagecraft. The performance blurs the lines between life and afterlife, the real and the imagined, and creates a mystical space where sorrow and beauty coexist, and love guides us through profound change.
The performance reimagines the rituals of farewell, creating a space where love and memory intertwine in a dance of presence and absence. A deeply poetic and immersive performance which offers a rare, cathartic experience that reflects on the enduring power of love, loss, and the emotional landscapes we carry within us.
About the Company: HIMHERANDIT Productions
HIMHERANDIT Productions was founded in 2003 by British-born artist Andreas Constantinou and has been based in Aarhus since 2009. In 2012, the company established a collaboration with Bora Bora, who co-produces the innovative and bold performances that range from modern dance, physical theater to “live art” performances. HIMHERANDIT Productions is a house company at Bora Bora.
HIMHERANDIT Productions is a well-reputed company that both the press, the audience and theaters nationally and internationally keep an eye on. With a reputation for being “The cutting edge queer performance company in Aarhus”, they have attracted the attention of several European theaters and festivals that have shown their performances around the world. In both 2015 and 2016, the company’s performances were chosen by the European network of dance theatres, Aerowaves, to be among the 20 most exciting new performances in Europe.
The company aims to create space for the marginalized, despised, diverse and queer, bringing important topics such as gender, sexuality and identity into dialogue. They do this both through performances, art installations, workshops, educational programs, research laboratories and artist lectures to promote social change through art.
