Troubadours21
I founded this group of improvising musicians who engage in theatrical performance for my final master project at the Royal Danish Academy of Music. We have created our first play Abstract Love consisting of my poems, improvised music and staged action. The project won the second prize for The Best Reflection Assignment of the Year at the Academy and later took part at the Vildskud Festival for independent art 2018 in Copenhagen.
Our aim is to create and opposition or a contrast to the trend of emotionally detached trend of performative arts. The theatrical style can be considered naive and leaves the performers laying somewhat bare, implementing surreal and dada fragments to create a unique world of protagonists.
“I surrender myself to the splendid exquisite music. The sounds of the two voices, the tenor saxophone and the grand piano induces are intriguing - both in beauty and in skewness. The performance changes between passion and deep, humorous twists and tomfoolery, or maybe rather Dadaist nonsense.
