Propaganda

n May – as Artist in Residence at Dansescenen – Mute Comp. performs Propaganda. At the same time the company makes a film version of the performance. Mute Comp. presents a wide range of the best international and Danish dance films at the first Dance Film Festival in Denmark.

“Propaganda” is a political performance about fear and alienation. Two men are cooped up in an apartment. They do not know how long they have been there or if the danger is over. Day and night change just as swiftly as when you turn the light on and off in an aquarium. Time passes slowly. Paranoia and desperation set in until the two men decide join battle. Archery, knife-throwing, cans of beers and a dancer in flames are central elements in the performance.
