BENCHED

Weather update August 3: . The weather will be dry tomorrow, so the performance will be held outdoors as planned, on the lawn behind the town hall. We are looking forward to seeing you! Buy tickets online or at the entrance (only cash dkk or euro).

On August 4, Ringkøbing will be visited by Uppercut Dance Theatre, who will perform BENCHED on the lawn in front of the town hall. With the fjord as a backdrop, you can experience an impressive outdoor dance performance that will fascinate children, teenagers and adults.

Take a seat! SIT DOWN! You are on the bench! Time out! All in good time! Are you in the right place?

BENCHED is a brutally honest bodily tale about life’s big and very small questions. About settling down. About daring to sit in opposition, about sitting cross legged, about being sat, put off or benched. About taking, creating, and giving space, and preferably remembering to do so before falling on your ass where the bench ends.

“Wow, how the five dancers toss themselves around a long black bench, in a fusion of street and modern dance, as if it were a bouncy launch pad. A playful and cool symbiosis between men and bench.” – Monna Dithmer, Politiken
