What can it do – and what should it do?

A sparklingly fresh physical fantasy about surviving in the civilized world – with wildness intact.
It’s fun and great to have a body.
It has muscles and arms and feet and head and hair and heart and lungs and nails and everything.
It can balance and run and bend into strange positions.
And it can lift and kick and move things around in the world.
But what should it do? It should sit properly, that´s what it should!
A performance full of questions and wonder:
Why do we do the things we do?
Why are we allowed cetain things?
Why are we not allowed other things?
Now we are turning what we have learned upside down!

The children sit on benches on all four sides of the dance floor. They clearly turn on the dance. … ‘What can it do – and what should it do?’ is an original and rebellious dance performance that hits right into the common goals of the primary school with a twinkle in the eye and a desire to play. And lots with infectious curiosity. Anne Middelboe,  Teateravisen here
