Compassion Stories - Fahlstrom and Trinidad

COMPASSION STORIES is an interactive dance performance that activates the audience's energy and emotions through a combination of performance and workshop. 

The children are led through physical tasks that mirror what happens later in the performance. Through these tasks, the children also have the opportunity to interact with the performance itself. 

The performance is a collaboration between dancers Jon Filip Fahlstrøm and Jens Jeffry Trinidad. They use the concept of the mosh pit as inspiration. The concept is most often encountered at metal concerts, where the audience is given an outlet for power and aggression within a framework of cultural consensus. In COMPASSION STORIES, the concept is adapted to the target group. The audience gets to be physically active and involved, and can explore how their own energy and emotions resonate with what is presented through the performance! It provides an opportunity to express themselves in an exciting and creative way. 

The performances on Wednesday and Friday are rehearsals. The premiere is on Saturday at 13:00.
