COLLECTIVE MANIFESTATION: SENSITIVE EMBROIDERY

In addition to the performance, there will subsequently be a collective manifestation with invited guests, who focus on the audience’s thoughts and room for action in relation to the theme of the performance.

This evening, Kris Jensen, who embroiders freehand under the name Følsomt Broderi/Sensitive Embroidery, will invite the audience to embroider about care and finances. Følsomt Broderi is known from Instagram, where he creates a physical diary with texts about hope, insecurities and development. The embroidery is never according to a template, but always directly from the heart. Kris regularly holds workshops with a focus on community and immersion and has, among other things, held embroidery workshops at the Statens Museum for Kunst, Roskilde Festival, at Bogforum and a number of other cultural institutions and associations. While we embroider, there will be a reading aloud from Emma Holten’s book “Underskud – om værdien af omsorg”, which was published in 2024. Together we will talk about the meaning of finances and value.

The collective manifestations are organized in collaboration with Ph.D. Storm Møller Madsen from the Department of Art and Cultural Studies at the University of Copenhagen.

ABOUT ACTING IN & OUT – PERFORMANCE AND ACTIVISM

Acting In & Out is an interdisciplinary program with artists from both the performing arts world and the visual arts world, who over four weeks at Husets Teater examine the framework for staging contemporary narratives.

Toaster presents four Danish groups/artists who all challenge the status quo and are concerned with socio-political issues both on the external and internal level. Nature and bodies, stretched out and up against economy, climate, gender and other power structures.

Each evening, in addition to the performance, there will be a collective manifestation with invited guests, who focus on the audience’s thoughts and room for action in relation to the theme of the performance. There will be reading aloud, embroidery, acupuncture, dragon building and choral singing in a safe space, where the audience is guided and met in a common conversation about what concerns us and where there is room for difference, doubt, hope and action!

Toaster sends a big thank you to OPE-N for the collaboration around Shout and Efter Festen, which has initiated the creation of Acting In & Out.
