Co-produced by Dansens Hus Oslo, BIT Teatergarasjen & Carte Blanche. 

​

They attract and distract,

Absorbed in bold encounters.

Playfully blurring dynamic feminine undertones, 

They morph.

Suggesting, defying, pushing boundaries and expectations. 

A serious parade in all its absurdity. 
 

​

Blue Carousel is a satire on seduction. A power play of expectations and associations, collapsing and climaxing into a series of transformations. Bysheim and Patry work with humour and repetition as a choreographic tool to comment on how the female body is viewed, objectified and categorised.

In a study of the seductive body, based on humour and bird mating dances, they indulge in all-consuming moments. Through a series of performative situations, they revel, twist and defy expectations through layers of fiction. They present soft and unforeseen confrontations, while insistent movements are woven together with transformative techno beats.

A playful and suggestive work that questions and challenges what is socially accepted vs the absurdity in the unexpected, while deconstructing the binaries of the masculine and feminine
