Fløyelshjertet – Papirvinger

Fløyelshjertet (The Velvet Heart) invites you into a sensoric and enveloping world. Through dance and live music, a story of friendship and belonging is told. Together with four performers with and without visual impairments, choreographer Ine Terese Hogstad creates a performance specially adapted for children and adults, with and without visual impairments. 

Fløyelshjertet draws inspiration from the children's book The Velveteen Rabbit , an American classic by Margery Williams from 1922, and explores the borderland between fantasy, magic and reality. Here we get to know an old, wise toy horse, a child and a velveteen rabbit. We join a journey where small and big questions arise: How does one really become real? What does it mean to be a good friend? Why does the heart beat? From the soft and heavy, from rolling, squeezing and falling, to floating together, running and jumping high! Along the way, you will probably get a little pulled at the seams, and your fur will probably get more worn, but what does it do when you really become important to someone else?

The idea behind Fløyelshjertet stems from a curiosity and interest in exploring how a dance performance can be experienced without the use of sight. The performance engages all senses as the story is told, and provides other ways to experience performing arts. 

The performance is best suited for children aged 3 and up. Programmed by Dansens hus.

The screening at 16:30-17:05 on Tuesday 24 November is a separate screening for participants in the Shifting the Stage symposium and festival delegates. Tickets for the others can be purchased via Dansens hus.
