An intimate and sensoric journey in the spirit of Greenland.
Presented in collaboration with IETM Aarhus 2023
Venue: Teater Refleksion
“The Traveller” is not a theatre performance as we know it. It is an experience space for the audience with inspiration from the Theatre of the Senses and with roots in Greenlandic culture. The audience enters a magical universe and gets to use their senses and their imagination in a journey through life. “The Traveller” is an intimate experience for a maximum of 10 people at a time.
Audience responses:
“This is the atmosphere of Greenland.”
“Thank you for making me realise how important it is to be with yourself before passing that love on.”
”A very intimate and sensorial experience with room for reflection and to be present in the moment.”
Language/subtitles: English
