LAND WITHOUT DREAMS

On stage is a woman claiming to be from the future.
She says that we have stopped dreaming.
That she is here to save us from ourselves.

Land without Dreams is a sci-fi to end all sci-fies telling the story of a promising future in opposition to the multiple dystopian nightmares that make up the sci-fi genre. Featuring one woman and 12 more people from the future. What if the future is bright and promising and everything we want it to be and fear is just a feeling that is triggered by the unknown?

The show is supported by The Danish Arts Council and Knud Højgaards Fond and it is produced in collaboration between fix+foxy and Eventministeriet/Royal Danish Theatre.

Land without Dreams was first performed 21 April-2 June 2018 at the Royal Danish Theatre.

STAYING ALIVE

BIERING/CHEMNITZ,

THE ROYAL THEATER, MINISTRY OF EVENTS MARCH-MAY 2015

A group of people are sitting and waiting. They are all elderly people.

They are the so-called ‘grey gold’. Someone has told them that it is over, that there is no more, that this is the terminus. But it’s not over for them. They don’t give up. They are ready. They have seen a lot, trained their bodies and some of them have danced quite a bit.

And now both the bench warmers, the prize couples and those with stage fright have armed themselves with leg warmers and sweatbands and now there’s going to be some damn dancing.

A sort of prom, a manifestation that they are still alive.

Staying Alive is a tale of 42 elderly people. Through dance and movement, they tell fragments of their lives: memories of meetings, love, breakups and grief.

About belonging and not belonging. A poetic and humorous insight into the specific life that becomes the general life through the ages.

A DOLLS HOUSE

THE MOST REALISTIC VERSION EVER

Ibsen understood acutely how people interact and wanted his theatre to be like real life. That is why fix+foxy has taken Ibsen’s most performed play and staged it in real homes with real people. “To keep them as real as possible, we haven’t prepared them – no rehearsals, no introduction. All they know is that we’re coming.”

This unique production was first produced by the Royal Danish Theatre and The National Theatre in Oslo and following critical acclaim as part of CPH STAGE in Copenhagen and at the Oslo International Acting Festival, fix+foxy’s A Doll’s House received its UK premiere as part of Chelsea Theatre and Theatre of Europe in Rep in a translation made by Peter Woltemade.

A Doll’s House has been performed in local versions in different countries and in different languages, so far in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and French.

Originally produced by fix+foxy in collaboration with The National Theatre (NO) and The Royal Theatre (DK). Supported by Stiftelsen Skandinavisk Teaterpris. The Denmark tour 2015-2017 was produced in collaboration with Teatergrad. English version produced ind collaboration with Theatre of Europe.

A Doll’s House was first performed 13-19 June 2014 in different apartments in Copenhagen.

THE PUMP STATION, COPENHAGEN MAY 2015

We are moving a small part of Thailand, the focal point of sex tourism, to Copenhagen: A Thai hotel room and a sex worker who reenacts her life – with the audience as customers. An extremely intimate notion of a global phenomenon, communicated through touches, smells, sounds and the meeting with another human being.

Ping Pong usually lives in the Thai city of Chiang Mai and has been a sex worker with Thai and Western men as clients, friends, boyfriends and relationships for 20 years. She is a participant in our sensual and playful analysis of what sex tourism is and what it says about our world and our identity. Why do so many people travel so far to have an intimate relationship?

In the performance, 10 spectators enter a Thai hotel room together with Ping Pong. Here, one at a time, in turn, they help revive meetings Ping Pong has had with customers. She directs them and leads them individually through the scenes. What happens when you meet at a beer bar in Thailand?

A performance that is of course about sex, but also all the other needs we have. Like love, for example.
