Nadja Hjorton On Air 27-29 March 2014

Programme

Four people in a radio studio on stage. They play music, talk politics, do interviews and share their lives and experiences. A mix of morning radio, Ring P1 and The Philosophy Room.

Live radio, wrestling, utopian quartet dance and radio theatre - all in a choreographic context. On Air is a dance work that navigates between different layers and expressions, pointing in many directions and creating space for the audience's own interpretations. On Air is dance as radio, feminism as radio, choreography as radio and radio as scenography. It is radio as something that brings people together. More than anything else, it is about On Air about different ways of being together.

The performance is in English.
