What is that?

A performance about the driving force of curiosity.
Curiosity is the strongest drive as a small child discovers the world. A drive that can last for a lifetime.Through movement and dance, the dancers explore both the body and the space without taking anything for granted.

With ‘What is that?’, Aaben Dans has created a curious performance work that eradicates all rules and concepts and discovers the world anew.
