Nebula

“A Nebula can arise when a star collapses and which can then only be seen if it is hit by light. In this Nebula, a new star can then be born.”

NEBULA is an abstract dance performance about what it means to embark on a journey. A journey which initially consists of just movement, but which is largely a journey into oneself – surrounded by other like-minded people.

What happens when you meet on the very first day? What happens inside us when we encounter resistance? How do we deal with the challenges that arise? How do we spot our ego and can we learn to see who we really are through dance?

When a part of our identity is broken down due to the experiences we have and the work we do, what is the space created for? Could we do it alone or is this only possible if we have other people by our side in the meantime? How does it feel when we are born again and something new and especially beautiful arises?

NEBULA is choreographed and staged by Merete Smedegaard in close collaboration with Marie Bang, Liv Crescesse, Cille Reinholt, Anna Koch and all 19 students at Aarhus Dance Education.
