VOMP - a dance company by Gunilla Lind (DK)
All The Feels
WORLD PREMIERE: What happens when we let our emotions guide us in a mad and incomprehensible world? ALL THE FEELS is a dance performance about the power of emotions to liberate, seduce and transform. Directed by Reumert Award-winning choreographer Gunilla Lind – with brand-new music by Fallulah.
It’s just emotions, taking me over….
Step into a world where no emotion is too much or too great, and where everything is governed by emotion. A sparkling ocean that beckons you closer. Here, you can let yourself be swept away by what you feel, hear and see.
ALL THE FEELS is a dance performance about the power of emotions and their potential to liberate, seduce and transform. Who do we see ourselves reflected in, and to whom do we confide? AI, influencers, therapists, God, reality TV, Taylor Swift, friends or our family? And what does an emotion look like before we begin to interpret and understand it? Come with us down into the depths. Let go and join us on a journey through ALL THE FEELS.
The performance, featuring four dancers on stage, is directed by Reumert Award-winning choreographer Gunilla Lind (“It’s So Cute I’m Gonna Die”, 2024) and features brand-new music by Fallulah.
In a mad and incomprehensible world of war, crises and new technology, we need to believe in something greater than ourselves. We turn to astrology, religion, tarot cards and conspiracy theories. Spaces where emotions speak louder than reason. But how do we find our footing in a reality that is constantly shifting? What happens to us and to the world when emotions become our anchor and compass?
Gunilla Lind is known for creating highly visual dance performances, where costumes and set design are striking and colourful elements. Costume and set designer Åsa Gjerstad has previously worked with Gunilla Lind on Holstebro Dance Company’s production “Björk”, and now they are reunited in the creation of “All the Feels”.
Recommended age limit: The performance is not suitable for children under the age of 12.
Please note: There will be loud sound effects and strobe lighting during parts of the performance.
Reviews
★★★★★★
“Surrender. Fallulah and Gunilla Lind have created a masterpiece. (…) It is a magnificent production, which Gunilla Lind has created using the very best from every aspect of costume design, set design, dance, music, script and lighting.”
– Music Magazine (read the whole review – in Danish)
★★★★★
“Lavish costumes, breathtaking lighting, talented dancers and heartfelt music. (…) A visually stunning experience. (…) The artistic interpretation of the younger generation and their many emotions comes across clearly in Gunilla Lind’s staging. It could hardly have been better expressed in words.”
– Iscene (read the whole review – in Danish)
★★★★★
“The whole thing unfolds to newly composed music by Fallulah, which (as well as sounding fantastic) is a key element in telling the story and setting the mood in the production. (…) All The Feels is all about the big emotions, a sensory bombardment and incredibly successful dance theatre. It strikes a fine balance on the edge between sweetness, charm and creepiness, leaving us saturated with sensory and emotional experiences – yet still hungry for more…”
– Kulturnyt (read the whole review – in Danish)
★★★★★
“Gunilla Lind’s choreography has an undercurrent of blue tones from the dark recesses of the mind, but also features a few unexpected twists that make it accessible. I enjoyed the soundscape, which gave the performance the edge that suits it so well.”
– Kulturnyt (read the whole review – in Danish)
“All The Feels is beautifully staged, lit and danced, and there seem to be enough narrative elements to ensure that even the less dance-savvy audience member (read: the magazine’s reviewer – ed.) takes plenty home with them.”
– Kulturkapellet (read the whole review – in Danish)
“Lets the emotions run their course all the way. (…) A performance that stays with you long after it’s over.”

About VOMP - a dance company by Gunilla Lind (DK)
VOMP – a dance company by Gunilla Lind creates hyper-tactile and visually distorted theatre spaces that reflect on current societal issues. Here, our imagination is activated and set free in an alternative world that is both frightening and seductive.
With oversized shapes, sensuous materials, saturated colors, and alluring creatures, VOMP questions the society we live in. What are we exposing our bodies and minds to? And who holds the power? The works blend elements of dance performance, music video, and art installation, referencing to pop culture – from internet aesthetics and comics to high fashion and MTV. Movements and genres are shuffled and sampled into a physical language that draws from contemporary dance, physical theatre, catwalks, and video games.
Music plays a central role – both as a generator of movement and as a key to immersing the audience in the new world they are drawn into, a world that it feels almost unbearable not to be able to touch – just for a moment!
VOMP aims to make dance accessible to everyone by performing on stages that do not usually present dance performances. VOMP’s performances are for everyone – even those who have never experienced dance before. The company was founded in 2016 by choreographer and artistic director Gunilla Lind, along with creative producer Shuli Nordbek.
The company debuted with the successful dance performance VANITY OF MODERN PANIC – V.O.M.P. Since then, the company has created four works and has toured internationally at Kampnagel (Germany), Skånes Dansteater (Sweden), Plartforma Festival (Lithuania), and at The Royal Theatre, Skuespilhuset (Denmark) among other places. In 2024, the company was awarded ‘Dance Performance of the Year’ at the prestigious National Danish Theatre Awards, Reumert, for IT’S SO CUTE I’M GONNA DIE. VOMP is also accepted to the Danish Arts Foundation’s career program, The Young Artistic Elite.
Gunilla Lind has also worked as a choreographer and movement consultant on theatre productions such as Pamela and Work Bitch by AKT 1, BJÖRK by Holstebro Dance Company, and she is a member of the artist collective Ruby Gamache.
