Scenatet: Átlátszó Hang 2026 I Memoriam
Together with choreographer Tim Matiakis and composer Niels Rønsholdt, Scenatet has created a universe that in a symbiosis of movement and music gives us an insight into a secret community, its rituals, and memories. The world-renowned house dancer Marie Kaae Schmidt takes the stage together with five performers and musicians from the ensemble of Scenatet. Memoriam reminds us of the value of the communities, we are part of and makes us reflect on the rituals and traditions that enable communities to pass on experiences over time. In a universe of reminiscences of stories told and stories waiting to be told in an uncertain present, we are confronted with a disturbing past that resonates and forces us to look into a bleak future.
Memoriam addresses an inquisitive audience with an interest in music and dance and a deep preoccupation with the spiritual questions posed by our contemporary harbingers of the future.
Schedule
Memoriam is a work that approaches memory from different angles – cultural memory, bodily memory, personal memory. Through movement and voice, through memorizations, descriptions and variations, a group of people seeks a path to something, which might be of importance. By merging contemporary dance and house dance, classical music and speech, baroque and futuristic clothes, Memoriam unfolds a language of remembrance and reminiscence.
Memoriam, a Danish contemporary new-music interdisciplinary performance with dance, two vocalists, and three instrumental musicians. The audience enters a separate world where, seated on either side of the stage, they become one with the artwork — with memory itself, and with the spiritual questions posed by our contemporary harbingers of the future.
