ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE

Rebellious individualism, pliable group belonging, and collective grief work are explored in the public, interactive performance Game Changer. Performers and audience move through an uncertain borderland in a dark club environment, all reverently dressed in anonymous hoods adorned with carnival feathers. The longing for intimacy, comfort, and expression is tested and processed through gestures, rituals, dance, and impulses. A group of performers and dancers follow a predetermined choreography – sometimes individually, sometimes as a group. A ten-year-old girl leads the play, occasionally moving both audience members and performers around the space. The work dissolves and shifts the boundaries between audience and performers, as each participant chooses how they wish to engage.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

LILITH is the artist duo Elin Lundgren and Petter Pettersson. In performances that explore community, group belonging, and exclusion, LILITH constructs their works as living images with absurd humor and a stripped-down documentary narrative. Their underlying focus is on universal human questions such as love, loss, and grief, driven by a desire to enter the viewer’s consciousness as both noise and a hope to understand what it means to be human. Elin Lundgren and Petter Pettersson have collaborated in visual and performing arts in various forms since 1999. In 2007, the duo founded Lilith Performance Studio – an independent arena for practical artistic research, focusing on newly produced large-scale art performances by invited artists from around the world.

TOASTER PERFORMANCE BIENNALE

In April 2026, Toaster presents Denmark’s first international performance biennale, taking place across Den Frie and Husets Teater.

The biennale offers a current portrait of the performance field within both visual art and performing arts – and the many intersections between them – which are rapidly evolving nationally as well as internationally. The focus is state of the art: taking the temperature of the field right now.

Experience more than 20 performances, including 10 entirely new works created specifically for the biennial. The artists range from established performance practitioners to emerging talents – sometimes within the same work.

The programme encompasses works rooted in dance, text, costume, sound, light, music, and space. Performance is here and now – it is the time we live in, and the time we choose to spend together.
