In 2012, she filled Dansens Hus to capacity with her work "bODY_rEMIX/gOLDBERG_vARIATIONS". Now she is back with a dream-like scene filled with the famous painter of hell Hieronymus Bosch's painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights". Heaven, hell and the life in between depicted by ten dancers who bring the surrealist painting to life outside the picture frame.
”Just as a choreographer can start with a piece of music in order to create, I am starting with the painting by Bosch. And just as a choreographer can choose to "stick" to a musical score (or not), I have chosen to "stick" to Bosch's painting, its spirit. The joy of bowing before a masterpiece!"
