Slinger i valsen [A Wobbly Walz]
(Pre-premiere March 6th, 19:30 - 90 DKK)
WORLD PREMIERE: SLINGER I VALSEN is an explosive, physical and humorous waltz on the edge of chaos, where the silent film characters Laurel and Hardy meet Quentin Tarantino's colourful universe in a wild fusion of slapstick action and raw authenticity.
DON and GNU throw themselves into a waltz with life itself, but they struggle to find the rhythm, and when emotions take over, even the most beautiful dance becomes a battle, duels play out in every movement, and no one is sure who will win what.
In the midst of it all, a mysterious stranger enters – like a modern-day hero or an unpredictable villain. A new pulse in a familiar universe. A character with multiple sides, edges and possibilities, and everything is turned upside down…
Look forward to an action-packed, physical odyssey that blends the physical poetry of slapstick with Tarantino’s unique style. Inspired by the aesthetics and rhythm of silent film, we explore whether our modern, colour-saturated world is becoming too square. Can we rediscover hope and connection in the imperfect, the raw and the unpredictable?
It’s time for SLINGER I VALSEN!
A talk on humour
On March 11th and 12th there is a talk about humour IN DANISH before the performance. It costs an extra 50 DKK on top of the ticket price for the performance and available as an extra item as part of the ticket buying process for the two mentioned dates.
You can read about the talk on the Danish part of our website.
“DON GNU has grown a huge fan club in Aarhus with their performances because they always deliver touching and funny performances in the borderland between dance and physical theater. We’re excited to present their brand new work “Slinger i valsen “- new fans can start here and if you’ve never seen dance, “Slinger i valsen” is the perfect place to start.”
– Creative and executive director Lotte Kofod Ludvigsen
