Out of Hauz Experiences vol. 2: Rite

A site-specific performance created by Artistic Director Jens Bjerregaard.
Played at the municipal bath and pool Spanien in the city of Aarhus, Denmark, February 2009.


In this second part of the trilogy Out of Hauz Experiences, the company Mancopy continues the investigation of what happens when the dancers move out of the safe environment of the stage and into a new setting.
The location of the old and municipal bath and pool Spanien inspired Jens Bjerregaard to create a work based on the theme Rite. Rite is based on the humorous and poetic linking of a physical and mental cleansing process.
Rite - ritual - symbolizes a transition from one stage to another. Transitions associated with life's milestones - or simply the desire for change.
