A performance about the driving force of curiosity.
Curiosity is the strongest drive as a small child discovers the world. A drive that can last for a lifetime. Through movement and dance, the dancers explore both the body and the space without taking anything for granted.
“We want to move our audiences in entertaining, relevant and thought-provoking ways. We believe in the power of art to bring new perspectives to our lives. We want to create good, sensuous and surprising performances about current issues that communicate to a wide audience. With open eyes, we explore what dance can and will do in our time. We work to create new and relevant forms of performing arts. We make popular avant-garde.” - Aaben Dans
“With ‘What is that?’, Aaben Dans has created an intriguing performance piece that breaks all the rules and concepts and rediscovers the world.”
