ABOUT THE SHOW:
Who decides what we should play? Who decides what is pretty or ugly? Who decides whether I am right or wrong? Does there always have to be one person who decides, and can there be two who are right, even if they don’t agree? And can you stick to your own opinion, even if others have a different one?
A playful and investigative performance, where visual images merge with physics and music and create a sensory and humorous story about a friendship that sprouts despite differences.
GAMES AND THOUGHT MATERIAL:
For all performances we develop a new game, which everyone gets when they have seen the performance. The games are based on the theme of the performance and extend the theater experience in a clever and fun way. In addition, teaching material / thought material / sensory material is also created – depending on what suits the target group and the content of the performance. These materials can be used for preparation and/or post-processing, and can be freely downloaded.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Some people believes in something.
And other doesn’t believe in anything.
Someone believes in herself.
And other doesn’t.
Some people just believe.
What do you think?
Faith, Hope and MAGIC? is an image-rich cavalcade, Teater Hund trys to move mountains, ponder religious war and help a friend who has lost faith in himself. An examination of faith that may change our believes of the truths of life and help create opportunities rather than limitations for children and adults.

Where is the limit? Where is the line between you and me? Where do I end and where do you begin?
We’re all in some kind of a relationship or friendships. Consciously and unconsciously, we mark boundaries and explore our own and other people’s boundaries. Sometimes we get to set the boundaries in a nice and gentle way. Other times we’re like the elephant in the glass shop (danish saying) which seems both offensive and maybe quite comical.
This is a clever and humorous show for the 5-12 year olds and their adults about boundaries, separation and togetherness.
The performance is a co-production between the art collective FAMILIEN and Teater Hund & Co.

ABOUT SHOW
What is that giant thingy? Sneak, sneak. Tippy-toe. Whoops?!? It’s making a noise! What can it do?
Frida loves to sneak up on things and make them move and change. And not least, she loves to play! Frida goes exploring into a visual and musical landscape of moving shapes and engaging sounds where she creates an imaginary world that might not all be an illusion…
Activate your senses, turn up your listening glasses and experience Mathilde Eusebius as Frida who lets her body out into a playful, sweeping and humorous swing with life. A nonverbal adventure where the invisible becomes visible, and the visible magical.
The performance is supported by The Danish Arts Foundation and Copenhagen Municipality

(Fri means free in Danish)
Fri is a child who lives in a city with red houses, blue cars and grey sky. “That was a strange name”, Fri’s teacher says on the first day of school. “Fri as in Frida? Or Fridolin? Or Frigga or Fridolf?” “I’M ACTUALLY JUST FRI” Fri screams and the teacher put Fri to the corner to calm down.
But Fri isn’t like the other children. Fri both cries if something is beautiful and if something is sad. And Fri laughs out loud and shouts and screams and throws the badminton racket across the floor in the gym.
Fri’s parents don’t know what to do with Fri’s emotional outbursts. They have tried
everything possible – but even when Fri counts to ten and breathes, there’s no peace. It’s as if there is constantly a music playing inside and the music makes it impossible to concentrate and impossible to do as told.
ACTUALLY JUST FRI is a musical tribute to life and emotions – both in major and minor. The show has room for all those people with a lot of emotions and those who find it difficult to feel anything at all.
Why are some people more emotionally affected by negative experiences than others?
Why do some meet life’s challenges with optimism while others are bogged down by them?
A humorous, colourful, and thought-provoking piece about an important subject: Our thoughts colour our lives. They can think us up, and they can think us down. We have learnt a way of thinking. Maybe we can learn others?
We follow three people’s different approaches to life in a show that mixes words, physique, visual scenes, choreographic elements, lots of humour, and new input for the brain. About what goes on inside our heads, and what consequences it can have. Inspired by the book, Learned Optimism, by the former president of the American Psychological Association, Martin Seligman.
The project utilizes both a director and a choreographer which results in a physical acting style. It is especially through the physical/visual that we achieve the moments where children and adults laugh at, experience, and understand human behavioural patterns TOGETHER at a deep level. Moments that provide seeds for later dialogue in the family and in the classroom.
With “Once Upon a Thought” we create a show that is an artistic experience in itself, but that also makes a difference by reaching further with concrete food for thought and talk.
Once upon a time there was a land where winning was the only thing that mattered. And if one didn’t win, one lost. Those that won were called the winners. And those that lost were called the losers. But then one day…
Could there be other possibilities? For what is a winner? And what is a loser? And who decides which is which? The show examines the nature of competition with humour and sympathy, and provide some new input for reconsidering the winner-ideal and loser-cliché.
We follow two boys’ different paths in this absurd society. After an adventurous journey one boy returns with new ideas for both…
An original and imaginative performance that sends both children and their parents home with something to think about and discuss.
HOW HARD CAN IT BE? is a humorous performance about loneliness and community. And whether it needs to be that difficult, or whether we can make the hard things less difficult – together.

The glance is the master of prejudice. The glances one receives create a truth of their own. A truth that is ultimately self-fulfilling. The glances one gives others give rise to their own stories. Regardless of whether our bodies are thin, fat, beautiful, ugly, decrepit, fit, or tattooed.
The artist collective LUX LUX LUX has interviewed all kinds of bodies and allowed curiosity to surpass prejudice. External body image becomes an inner journey in the wandering show THIN/THICK/TATTOOED, which is based solely on interviews with ‘the ones, we don’t know’.
The performance is the result of a collaboration between the artist collective LUX LUX LUX and Teater Hund & Co.
