Giraff Graff: Diaries – After the Fire   
On the night before Great Prayer Day, performance artist Camilla Graff Junior’s studio burned down, and she lost most of her diaries. The fire and the loss of the diaries occurred in the midst of an investigation into memory, during which Camilla Graff Junior had performed her work “Diaries” twelve times in seven countries. The artistic investigation at Tid i Rum will take as its starting point the question: How do we remember?

Marie Kaae: What She Said 
“What She Said” is a dance performance that stems from Marie Kaae’s previous sociological research at La Sorbonne. The performance explores discourses on beauty, their dark sides, and their role in society’s subconscious power dynamics. How does beauty relate to capitalist production and reproduction, and how does inner beauty relate to God and spirituality? Through “Time in Space,” Marie Kaae will continue her work on the piece, which consists of dance and poetry.

Marie Kaae does not participate in work-sharing as part of “Tid i Rum.”

MORILD_: Space for Intimacy 
MORILD_ is a cross-disciplinary collective that works at the intersection of choreography, scenography, and architecture.

elise reine: Horse 
“Horse” is a concert performance in which the audience is invited into a universe of repetition, a search for a new form of existence, and an ode to the trance of obsession. The performance draws inspiration from Donna Haraway’s A Cyborg Manifesto, in which the cyborg becomes a figure of liberation and escape from society’s constraints, while simultaneously rediscovering and reinventing its existence. In “Horse,” this transformation unfolds through synthesizers and the distorted body.

Inga Gerner Nielsen / In the Mirror of Care Work: Syner Vakt i Støv 
“Syner Vakt i Støv” is a performance installation that explores the future of nursing. Through interactive one-on-one encounters and visual art techniques, the audience receives their first poetic consultation and becomes part of the narrative. In “Tid i Rum,” a conversation scale will be developed to be incorporated into the performance. The work is part of the project “In the Mirror of Care Work,” a long-term collaboration with UCN’s School of Nursing in Hjørring and Thisted.

X-act: POINT ZERO 
After more than 30 years of cross-disciplinary collaboration, the two founders of X-act—composer and musician Sture Ericson and choreographer and dancer Kitt Johnson—are throwing everything up in the air. Without a deadline, a predetermined concept, or a set format, they aim to create space for something new by unlearning ingrained habits and letting go of conventional working methods. Through Time in Space, they will challenge each other in research and idea development in the hope of opening a new chapter.

Gipali Productions: Tracing Echoes 
“Tracing Echoes” is a dance duet choreographed and performed by Giorgia Reitani and Paulína Šmatláková, which physically and emotionally explores how the past shapes us today. The work reflects on growing up in the 1990s in countries marked by strong traditional, religious, and political influences and on moving to a new country, raising questions of identity and belonging. With rising nationalism and social polarization, particularly in countries like Slovakia and Italy, the work gives voice to the internal conflicts that arise when navigating multiple layers of identity.

Megaland Theater: Crowd Control

We cannot separate the dance, the choreography, the performer and her background from what is happening in the world at the moment. This is the starting point for the project's investigation under Time in Space, as a statement about why performers have no choice but to create and express themselves through art.
