Louise Orwin Works with Live Art Danmark 2014 „Humiliation Piece‟ at Hitparaden 2 2016 „Pretty Ugly‟ at Live Art for Kids 3 Humiliation Piece „Humiliation Piece‟ is a one-woman show which puts the private world of a female masochist into the excruciatingly public arena of the theatre. Comic, awkward, and at times frightening, the performance asks what exactly an audience wants to see on stage, and challenges what we think of as ‚entertaining‛ in performance. Louise performed „Humiliation Piece‟ at our Hitparaden 2 festival. Pretty Ugly Pretty Ugly originally started its life as a YouTube experiment. After noticing a world-wide trend of teenage girls posting videos asking viewers to rate […]
Mark Boombastik Works for Live Art Danmark 2014 Concert and performance „Teotwawki‟ at Hitparaden 2 Concert What could you possibly say about a concert by Mark Boombastik? He is the only experimental beat boxer we know. Listen, learn and enjoy. Teotwawki At Hitparaden 2, Mark also performed with Jörn J. Burmester and Florian Feigl in Teotwawki. The trio presented a dark performance about the prepper movement, exploring human behaviour under extreme circumstances with the means of performance art on a theatrical stage. The audience was hearded into a fenced of encampment, a large black wheel of fortune determined which catastrophes – from climate change to zombie apocalypse – would befall […]
Søren Krag Work for Live Art Denmark 2014 „Nu(?)‟ at Hitparaden 2 Nu(?) Søren brought some friends along for his performance „Nu(?)‟ at our second Hitparaden festival of international performance art. On a screen in the back of the small stage, a wild chain of video associations was projected, while the performers in the foreground remained half obscure in the half light. Phantastic costume creations and kitsch props clashed with snippets of documentary film from the Iraq war, until finally the screen is taken over by a performer in a monster mask, rolling in a bathtub and crying for his mom. A disturbing tour de force of images and sounds. […]
Mathias Tornvig Work for Live Art Danmark 2014 „Maraudered marallal-lal’lalallal…‟ at Hitparaden 2 Maraudered Marallat-lal’lalallal… The title of this performance that Mathias created for our second Hitparaden festival was actually much longer. The first picture below displays it in its entire length. If this seems slightly confusing, the artist delivers a typewritten protocol, describing in detail what he plans to do: After collecting contributions from festival goers, fellow artists and random passers by, Mathias dives into a furios live performance, using a threadbare stand up comedy setting. That is: himself and a mikrophone on stage. It looked like this: Just in case everything should still not be completely clear by […]
Panoply Performance Laboratory Work for Live Art Danmark 2013 „Any Size Mirror is a Dictator‟ at Hitparaden 1 Any Size Mirror is a Dictator For our first Hitparaden festival, the Brooklyn/New Yor based performance company Panoply Performance Laboratory, in their own words „actualized a framework from their current long-form social performance in progress, Any Size Mirror is a Dictator, a relational opera of refractions and „inaccurate‟ reflections‟. Performing outside on a rainy night in Copenhagen, Valerie Kuehne, Brian McCorkle and Esther Neff transformed the complex theoretical theorems of their personal libretti into weird, striking images, involving the audience into micro rituals, performed with everyday objects like a ketchup bottle and a […]

French & Mottershead Work for Live Art Denmark 2014 „Afterlife‟ at Hitparaden 2. Afterlife UK-based artists Rebecca French and Andrew Mottershead presented Afterlife at Hitparaden 2. The immersive performance was part of a series of works reflecting on the death of the body and its relationship to place and time. Lying on a towel on a wooden deck, each audience member equipped with a mp3 player, the work consisted of an audio narrative that invited listeners on a poetic journey beyond their own death, and through the natural processes of decomposition in a woodland setting, compressing decades into minutes. The development of the work was supported by Cifas, Brussels. About […]
White on White Work for Live Art Denmark 2013 White on White: # 3 and #5 at Hitparaden 1 White on White: # 3 – a Non-controversial Shit in the Blackbox and # 5 – All Those Beautiful Boyz White on White, a duo comprised of Swedish actor-performer Iggy Malmborg and German actor-director Johannes Schmit, aims to investigate, criticize and/or affirm the identificatory process between white audiences and white performers on stage. At our first Hitparaden festival, White on White showed two parts of their performance-theater series. In part number three – a non-controversial shit in the blackbox – they took laxatives while speaking about theory and embarassment: Why is […]
