THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM (BE/DK)

In a bright suit and wearing an amazing, lifelike animal mask, ‘The Elephant in the Room’ dances between comedy, dance, and mime. Somewhere between humor and tragedy, it questions how we view animals and how we interact with them as humans.

The elephant is in Roskilde for five days, and we don’t always know where it is. It is trying to find a place to be – and someone to be with. Maybe you will see it.

If you want to be absolutely sure to meet the elephant, or perhaps another animal, performances will pop up in different places during the festival. See where and when in the festival program.
