DANSK
Danseforestilling ANTS 1+1=3 er en myldrende legemliggørelse af et samfund i miniature. På scenen går fem dansere med stor fysisk styrke, udholdenhed og baggrunde i street dance, voguing, club dance, martial arts og contemporary dance, der sætter krop og bevægelser på myrenes verden. Musikken er skabt af komponist Turkman Souljah.
Kampen for overlevelse, fællesskab, styrke og sammenhold i et samfund på kanten af katastrofe. Myren er arbejder, ingeniør, kriger og elsker. Den både dyrker naturen, opretholder den biologiske orden og er villig til at gå i døden for fællesskabet. En superorganisme og et organiseret samfund, der får den skandinaviske velfærdsstat til at ligne det rene anarki. Fortællingen om myrenes liv er historien om de helt store temaer i små størrelser. Hvordan de mest undseelige insekter, som de fleste måske mest ser som en pestilens, i virkeligheden kan vise mennesker vejen frem i en verden præget af grænseløs individualisme og udfordringer, der kalder på kollektive svar. Kunne vi stå sammen som myrerne, var der ikke det, vi ikke kunne løfte sammen.
ANTS 1+1=3 er skabt i tæt dialog med myre ekspert og seniorforsker Hans Joachim Offenberg fra Institut for Bioscience ved Århus Universitet, som bla. er forfatter til bogen ”ants”.
DANSE WORKSHOP
Vi tilbyder danseworkshops med fokus på samarbejde, teamwork og insektinspireret bevægelse, samt workshops indenfor streetdance-genrer som Hiphop, House og Popping. For forespørgsler og mere information send venligst en mail.
ENGLISH
ANTS 1+1=3, by Danish-Latvian choreographer Anastasija Olescuka, is a dance performance where five dancers embody the world of ants through movement to music by Turkman Souljah. Survival, community, strength, and unity in a society on the verge of catastrophe. The ant is a worker, engineer, warrior, and lover. It cultivates nature & maintains biological order. As a superorganism and an organized society, the ants make the Scandinavian welfare state seem like pure anarchy. The performance examines the great themes of life in small forms, drawing essential parallels to current societal debates around gender, crises, and conflict.
The boundaries between ants and humans blur as the performance tells the story of metropolises in miniature, complex biospheres, and societies where survival depends on collaboration. How can some of the smallest insects, which many regard as a nuisance, guide us in a world bounded by rampant individualism and challenges requiring collective solutions? If we could unite like the ants, there would be nothing we couldn't achieve together.
ANTS 1+1=3 was created in close dialogue with ant expert and senior researcher Hans Joachim Offenberg from the Department of Bioscience at Aarhus University, who, among other things, is the author of the book "ants".
Why Ant Dance?
The performance is remarkable in its exploration of new aesthetics and experimental expression. ANTS 1+1=3 is characterized by its unique artistic combination of performing arts and natural sciences. The show presents a distinctive movement language rooted in the dancers' backgrounds in street dance, voguing, club dance and martial arts. ANTS 1+1=3 invites the audience inside the ant colony, placing science in motion and society under the microscope.
