THE ISLAND SERIES
THE ISLAND SERIES is here to fight for the things our national GDP does not assign a value to. The things that, by definition, will not be registered as a loss if and when they disappear - at least not by the way we measure value in today’s economic politics.
It fights for the value of care, nature, time with our loved ones, and our communities.
In other words, THE ISLAND SERIES responds to a need to focus on one concrete, meaningful and priceless thing at a time - and to insist on its value.
THE DECLUTTER SHOW (2024) is a dance performance made entirely without buying anything!
From the 'KonMari method' to Apple's simple design philosophy, we are increasingly encouraged to declutter and simplify our way of life. More people seek out the simple life and clean up the quantities they have accumulated over time. Therefore, The Nordic Beasts dance theatre presents: THE DECLUTTER SHOW!
A performance that did not buy anything new during its creation and asks its audience to bring one or more things they would like to clear out and pass on to the performance. Quite literally, THE DECLUTTER SHOW pushes everyone involved to declutter and turn the mess into a spectacular dance experience that tugs at our own relationship with the amounts of stuff that pile up in our lives and possibly (possibly not) this process will make us all happier.
THE RIGHT WAY FOR FISH TO DIE – Outdoor Edition (2026) is a 30-minute duet in which dancer and choreographer Noora Hannula and circus artist Elise Reine lead the audiences to experience recreational fishing through the eyes of the fish.
With humor, acrobatics and a blend of dance and contemporary circus, the work immerses us in a world where we are asked to see our relationship with nature - and the lives we so often take for granted - from a different angle.
Recommended age from 10 and up.
