Preview: Bigfoot – GUTS

Imagine if you were three meters tall? Or had six legs? Or could live without your head?

Our bodies are constantly changing. They grow, change, and surprise us. For hundreds of years, people all over the world have invented strange creatures. Half human, half animal – or something else entirely.

These mythological creatures help us explain what we don't understand. In BIG FOOT, we are inspired by these creatures to explore what it means to grow up in a body that is constantly changing.

GUTS is the unrest of transformation – the gut feeling that drives us forward, that moves in our muscles and marrow – the whole power from within – chaotic, instinctive and essential. GUTS is a dance company in Oslo with three dance artists from Norway and England. They use their bodies and senses to turn ideas into movement. They spend a lot of time playing, testing and finding out what the body can do. When creating performances, GUTS also collaborates with other artists who create sound, light, costumes and scenography. They share a common history with STICKY Productions, and create immersive, multi-sensory dance performances: OOZE (2024); and the Hedda Prize-nominated Økohelter (2022).

The performance at 12:30 is relaxed.
