Moon Song

In collaboration with Holstebro Dance Company, Classical Days Holstebro, International Music Festival, Holstebro Art Museum and Danish Talent Academy, Moon Song, a hybrid dance and poetry performance in 12 pictures, is created.

Blended, poetry, dance, and music will create the sensual and beautiful performance “Moon Song”.

The performance will arise in the meeting between four arts and based on selected poems from the collection “I mine lykkelige nætter” by Henrik, Prince Consort of Denmark.

The poems all have one common denominator; the eternal love – love that was, is, and occurs.

The well-known Danish actor, Thure Lindhardt, will read the poems aloud. Alongside beautiful music and formidable dance, the audience will be seduced, entertained, and marvelled.

While the nation has been shut down due to Covid-19 and deprived of performances and theathres, the artistical partners of Moon Song have converted the stage performance into five artistical films. The collaboration was joined by the skilled photo- and videographer Tom McKenzie.

The five films are based on the Moon Song-performance and involves the dancers from the show, as well as the established musicians Janne Thomsen on the flute and Jakob Bangsø on guitar.

All the films are recorded on selected locations from our hometown of Holstebro, which has a long history with dance, theatre, and arts. This was done to celebrate the city and give thanks for the support during the pandemic we experience from both the Municipality and the citizens.
