Shaken Mirror
May 28-June 4, 20:00 (May 29, 15:00); Sankt Annæ Plads 36, Cph K; 95-395kr, kglteater.dk; 90 mins
The title poem of Søren Ulrik Thomsen’s latest anthology, Shaken Mirror, attempts to describe a beloved’s look, inaccurately distorted through the elusive nature of a mirror’s materiality.
The poem demonstrates the limits of language itself when the poet fails to truthfully capture a specific moment in time. Kim Brandstrup’s ballet continues where language cannot, and in the movement of Brandstrup’s dancers the words of one of Denmark’s most beloved poets begins to take form on the theatre’s stage.
Award-winning Kim Brandstrup is renowned for his work with the Royal Ballet and English National Ballet. (AC)
