THE SPACE BETWEEN US

SAMBA is the first part of Uppercut’s trilogy PLEJER ER DØD.

SAMBA is part of Uppercut Dance Theatre's trilogy WHAT WAS MUST DIE.

Welcome to the blood-red imagination of the porker! A samba arena, a show ring, a hotbed, a pigsty. A circus of festivities, fellowships, secrets and seduction.  

In SAMBA the audience is seated close to the circular arena. They are thus part of the set, which also features a suspension bridge, chairs, hay and mud. Live music is performed by the composer, who also happens to be a dancer. “Pig”, the main character, guides and leads you through all the awfulness and vanity of the show.
