THE LAUGHING GAME er en koreografisk undersøgelse af latter, der udfolder dens fysik og dens lydbillede i tæt relation med publikum. Værket bevæger sig i krydsfeltet mellem dans, installation og koncert. Forestillingen udstiller latteren som social kommunikation, kropslig tilstand, klukkende lyd og sprudlende fornemmelse. THE LAUGHING GAME udfolder en palette af følelserne som latteren kan være udtryk for, dens smitsomme kraft og dens befriende virkning. I kontrast til den gængse opfattelse af latter, som kun værende sjov, bliver latteren her portrætteret som en både morsom og seriøs leg. Hahaha.
THE LAUGHING GAME er en hyldest til latter – en fejring af dens funktioner & underfundigheder.
THE LAUGHING GAME is a choreographic exploration of laughter, which unfolds laughing as social communication, bodily state, stirring sound and sparkling sensation. Exposing the range of emotions present within laughter, its contagious force and foremost its liberating effect.
Breaking with the common sense of looking at laughter as only being funny, laughing will be portrayed as a playful but also serious game. Hahaha.
The work oscillates between a dance, an installation and a concert – inviting the audience on stage and unraveling laughter in close relation with the audience.
THE LAUGHING GAME is a tribute to laughter – a celebration of its functions & particularities.
