Winter guests' three recent productions at Dansens Hus may be characterized more like theater than dance. This time however, we get a brand new dance performance! With an ensemble of seven international dancers, winter guests present a performance dealing with the contradiction between truth and fiction. How do we stage our lives for each other in our eternal pursuit of recognition? The essence of this is self-realization. Recognition is by no means unconditional, it depends on success. Alan Øyen is one of the performing arts most versatile actors in Norway, with his great choreography assignment for Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch as a preliminary highlight.
Alan Lucien Øyen har utmerket seg ved kunstnerisk dristighet og stilsikker nyskaping. Han har en utvetydig sans for detaljer og fremviser en vilje til nyorientering og eksperimentlyst som er påfallende.
