The Game

An interactive dance performance about anxiety

As pieces in a huge life size board game, young people are, along with four dancers, guided through the game of life by a game master. Inspired by stories from young people themselves, ‘The Game’ is based on the performance- and general anxiety, which more and more experience. The young will get the opportunity to enhance, discuss, and relate to different types of pressure and anxiety.
