Grey Zone

Premiered on the 4th of May 2024 at TeaterFÅR302, Copenhagen
In connection with the annual focus week about Dementia

The performance Grey Zone is about the middle stage and limbo between different emotional perspectives as well as memories and life events. The performance is the second part of the trilogy Never Said Goodbye. The inspiration for Grey Zone stem from the feeling of loneliness as well as our personal relationship with the disease Alzheimer's.

REVIEWS:

“Mikkel Alexander, who himself dances in the performance, has drawn on his personal experiences with an Alzheimer’s-affected person to create the choreography for Grey Zone. The result is a very beautiful and relevant, but also a bleak performance.” — https://www.cphculture.dk/

“The technically mastered bodies radiate vitality and lightness. They offer us bright, composed moments that reveal their control. The interplay is marked by exploratory curiosity. They create a place to belong and their relationship feels like a game that affirms existence.” — https://www.teateravisen.dk/
