K.I.S.S.

Welcome to an explosive journey into the identity of the modern woman!

In K.I.S.S., the successful show “M.I.S. – all night long” is challenged by a female team. With director Kamilla Wargo on the sidelines, DON GNU has set out to explore what it means to be a woman today. Gone are the stereotypes and preconceptions – here we know that the modern woman is complex, nuanced and full of surprises.

Don Gnu’s sweat-soaked macho universe is known to contain both delusions of grandeur and inferiority complexes. The shows have been characterized by slapstick humour, where planks and woolen socks have played the main roles. Now, the story takes a new turn when Don Gnu invites the women on stage. But is there room for women in Don Gnu’s male-dominated world? How can women take over and what kind of humor do women really have?

Inspired by the feminine ideals of the past and the empowerment movement of today, “K.I.S.S.” dives into the inner strength, vulnerability and willpower that characterizes today’s woman. Growing up in a world of strong role models, popular culture and 90’s girl power, who is the modern woman really – beneath the layers of expectations, social norms and female life roles?

Look forward to a show full of quirky stunts, both physical and mental, as the three women step out of their comfort zone to take on everything from the “superwoman” syndrome to the perfect mom image, the inner critic and societal pressure.

“You should see K.I.S.S. because you like to see movement in the style of Don Gnu and to get an explosive dance performance where three women take both the floor and the wheel,” says Kamilla Wargo.

“K.I.S.S.” is a party for anyone who wants to celebrate the human right to be themselves – real, candid and powerful in their imperfection – all night long!
