Øyen`s abundant inventiveness and clever

“A beautiful and clever,
comic and thought-provoking balance between
acting and movement”
Artistic Director Adolphe Binder.

THEATRE AND DANCE PERFORMANCE BY ALAN LUCIEN ØYEN
In Norwegian chorographer and director Alan Lucien Øyen’s exploration of the
Peter Pan Syndrome, If we shadows have offended, the dancers will impress us
also with their acting in a touching story about nostalgia, being lost and what
it means to not grow up.
“In the performance, we encounter a series of memories that crash into each
other, as if in a kaleidoscope. The images succeed one another, nearly pushing one another away, to make space for one more memory. The recollections are portrayed by the dancers, who change and reappear. The dancers
slip into and out of their roles, in and out of memories, the play and the stories.”
