Vangeline Theater/New York Butoh Institute Collaborates with Denmark’s Husets Teater

Award-winning, New York-based Butoh artist, choreographer, and educator Vangeline has joined the creative team of a major new theatrical production at Copenhagen’s prestigious Husets Teater. Serving as the project's Butoh Coach, Vangeline brings her internationally recognized expertise in the “dance of darkness” to If Death Has Taken Something From You, Give It Back (Har døden taget noget fra dig så giv det tilbage).

Har døden taget noget fra dig så giv det tilbage (If Death Has Taken Something From You, Give It Back) is the first stage adaptation of Danish writer Naja Marie Aidt’s iconic book of the same title – a work that explores the universal pain of losing a child. The performance will play at Husets Teater in Copenhagen, Denmark this November. Tickets are available here.

If Death Has Taken Something From You, Give It Back is a choreographic work created by and featuring Royal Danish Ballet dancer and choreographer Oliver Marcus Starpov as the son, and actress Christine Albeck Børge as the mother. Together, they create an intense duet in which movement and text intertwine.
