The art of living is difficult.
Join us for a wordless and absurd clown show that explores the complexity of love and life.

The wordless performance JUST WAIT follows two naive souls.
A woman and a man both struggle to find the melody of life in a poetic and melancholic universe.

Like everyone else, they also are figthing discouragement, overconfidence, vulnerability, victories and defeats.
And the two charteacters develop a deep and unconditional devotion to each other.

JUST WAIT demonstrates the necessity of love in a tragicomic tone, where tears and laughter go hand in hand.
One cannot help but be moved by the two characters’ innocence and by everything that does not need to be said.

Marie Topps’ works have a hypnotic effect on her audience. By constructing landscape-like scenarios on stage, she creates intense experiences for the audience.

THE LABYRINTH is a performance by choreographer Marie Topp in close collaboration with lighting designer Mårten K. Axelsson and composer Julia Giertz.

The Labyrinth is the first work in a new series, consisting of three reflections on time and existence, staged in different formats, spaces and temporalities.
What it means to be alive and how we imagine what it is to be dead, are themes that are pervasive in this series.

The works will process the relationship between the inner and outer worlds and reflect on what existence is in a world of decay.

Through puppets and objects a charming story unfolds. It is about hands.
MA SOLITUD is a lovely story for adults – and children from 8 years old – playing during STAND ALONE FESTIVAL 2025.

Hands have created most of the things we use. Hands have unleashed the most sublime beauty and the most terrible atrocities.
Hands tell the stories that have united humans for so long.

A part of the body that brings us back to what is tangible, everyday and handmade and that reconnects our body and mind.

On a twenty-five minute journey, from comedy to poetics, with anger, subtleness, great musicality and the gentle humour of an eyebrow,
Guillem Albà (and his hands) leave us with a collective experience of proximity,
using anything from dance, theatre, contemporary circus, puppetry and music to get us there.

Give yourself and your family an unique experience, leaving you emembering the importance of what is human, simple and shared.

Part of STAND ALONE FESTIVAL

During STAND ALONE FESTIVAL, we present both Danish and international, captivating performances performed by one actor.
Please do keep in mind: Several of the shows will only play for one day.

THE LIE is the delicate tale of a girl who lies at the dinner table one night. When she goes to her room, the lie has taken the shape of a red circle in front of her. The next morning it’s still there.

As the days pass, the circle grows, multiplies and invades her life – it even makes it difficult for her to breathe.
The story never reveals to us what her lie is about. It’s between her and it – just as our lies are between all of us and our own small fabricated truths.

Come to Aarhus Ø and watch an impressive dance performance that visualises how overwhelming a lie can be to handle once it is told.

The wordless performance is inspired by a novel by author Catherine Grives. With grace and lightness, it depicts an inner struggle that we have all experienced. Through movement, the girl’s emotional states are conveyed in a sensory experience.
Three artists from different disciplines – two dancers and a circus artist – bring the story to life.

THE LIE is part of ILT Festival 2025, organised by Teatret Svalegangen, Aarhus Theatre and Teatret Gruppe 38. You buy tickets via the festival website.
