ISNÆTTER: Kinetic Scenography



ISNÆTTER is a performance art production by Sydhavn Teater in Copenhagen. The scenography consists of a 150-square-meter living ceiling made from translucent plastic film. This kinetic material body is animated in close collaboration with choreographer Tina Tarpgaard and the four performers.

“ISNÆTTER is a fusion of dance and theatre — a performance about power and desire, based on author Anna Kavan’s cult novel ICE from 1967. In a world covered in ice, an unnamed male narrator pursues a mysterious woman — yet she continually escapes him. He shapes his own reality and moves through the world driven by fascination, desire, jealousy, and an overwhelming urge for control. The longer he chases her, the more reality and fantasy begin to merge — and fracture.”
