Is there anyone inside the house?
Who’s in there?

SIMONE DE JONG COMPANY (NL)

Simone de Jong Company in Amsterdam creates performing arts for families based on movement, music and imagination. Their productions are original, funny and sensitive.

The theatre itself describes that most of their performances are wordless, because for a small child the spoken word is only one of many forms of language. The Simone de Jong Company starts from the physical and aims to put images on the philosophical considerations of life at eye level with the children.

Dangerous, twisted and transformative. Join Alice on an acid trip at the bottom of the deepest rabbit hole. Nothing is as it seems in the land on the other side

Experience a different version of Lewis Carroll’s beloved classic. In all its acidic, monstrous and unheimliche essence.

In a cabinet of fantastic creatures, transformations happen before the eyes of the audience. Costumes are transformed and come to life together with dancer and performer Tilde Knudsen.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND is a performance full of wondrous absurdity.

ASTERIONS HUS

Asterions Hus is recognized for physical and experimental interpretations of grand narratives in beautiful and poetic settings.

They say it’s my own fault. Basically it must be, for I am Destiny. This critically acclaimed performance written and performed by Florence Espueut-Nickles opens STAND ALONE Festival 23.

Destiny dreams big. She dreams of glamour. If J-Lo can make it out of The Bronx, Destiny can make it out of Hill Rise Estate in Chippenham. She is desperate to get away from the hopelessness she grew up with.
Destiny lives in one of the dreariest housing estates in Britain. We follow her dramatic and desperate attempts to learn to love and to be loved.
The critically acclaimed performance, with actress Florence Espueut-Nickless on stage, gives insight into the lives of the millions of young people living in poverty in the UK.

The performance is part of STAND ALONE Festival 23 at Teatret Gruppe 38.

FLORENCE ESPEUT-NICKLES

Florence Espueut-Nickles is a writer and actor from Chippenham in Wiltshire, England, a town with no stage art – and limited access to it. She writes about and with working-class communities in the south-west of England in the hope of making art more accessible to all, regardless of background or geographical location.

DESTINY is her debut, and she has played the show at several major international festivals such as the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022.

Teatret Gruppe 38 invites families to a wordless, poetic performance inspired by the fantastic and fabulous visual universe of artist Paul Klee. 

In a performance with shadows and geometric shapes, the elements come alive. Dots, lines, animals and cities appear and disappear again.

Paul Klee’s paintings are architectural, poetic, round, angular and fragmentary. Klee was interested in movement and process, and this was more important to him than the final result  – like it often is for children.

TEATRET OM

Teatret OM is an international theatre founded in Rome in 1989 by actress Sandra Pasini and scenographer and visual artist Antonella Diana.

In 1996, the theatre became officially Danish, and since 2006 Teatret OM has been located in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality.

In Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet all the main characters die. But in this internationally loved, grotesque and music formed performance, they all come to live again to tell their tales – after hundreds years in the grave!

Hamlet has been interpreted and presented to us in thousands of versions. Exit gives us a completely new angle on the story.

A performance about conformity or rebellion and about the ethics in a corrupt world. Scraps of words and dialogues in English mingle with old and new music.

For adults only!

Welcome to Teatret Gruppe 38’s greatest contribution to Aarhus 2017 – European Capital of Culture.

Welcome, both inside and outside.

Here are landscapes after a tsunami, Titanic on first class, a belly dancer luring sailors and landlubbers, a library without books, the last journey, heartbreaking tones, silent tears, shipwrecks and joyful cries.

Teatret Gruppe 38, Terrapin Puppet Theatre (TAS) and Swiss Trickster-p (CH) present the great theatre installation All This Coming and Going at Pier 3 in Aarhus’ new developed habour district, Aarhus Oe.

Inside and outside 10 large ship containers, mobiles, projections, shadows and moving pictures will depict what was – and what is to come.

During 2018-19, Teatret Gruppe 38 moves into a new theatre building at Aarhus Oe that is part of the construction project AARhus at Pier 4, Aarhus Oe.  With this great theatre installation by Pier 3 at the the waterfront, we invite the audience to experience how a new city district comes alive when art moves in.
