Uranus
Urpremiere
Den Danske Scenekunstskole
Uranus is the 7th planet of our solar system. Its axis differs from other planets as it rotates almost entirely on its side. Uranus was also a gay rave in Stockholm. In astrology, it is the planet of sudden change, breakthroughs and upheaval. As the queer feminist astrologer Chani Nicholas puts it: Uranus is the goddess of I don’t give a f*ck. While the piece is not about astrology, it takes what Uranus represents in astrology as a guideline for composition. Sudden changes during long transits, tilted axis, radical shifts: the astrological characteristics of the planet permeate the dances of Uranus. Not foreign to the Stockholm gay rave, it brings techno and the dance floor to the stage.
