School Show: The Wandering Human">
A completely different experience at DYNAMO focusing on Denmark as a colonial power!
A completely different experience at DYNAMO focusing on Denmark as a colonial power!
Note to the audience: all dialogue will be in danish and greenlandic
The year is 1978. A Greenlandic girl sits at a kitchen table in a suburban home near Aalborg, staring at the colorful flowers on the oilcloth. The Danish state has placed her in foster care to give her access to "a culture with future prospects."
But soon, she stands up and walks away. Back to Greenland. Backward through time. She walks, but she is not alone. A Danish anthropologist follows her, and along the way, they encounter:
Ships from the 1960s and 1950s carrying Greenlandic children to Denmark for re-education; craftsmen, nurses, and teachers traveling to modernize Greenland. They continue and pass a stuffed polar bear and fake icebergs on their way to Emma Gad's colonial exhibition at Tivoli in 1905, while the anthropologist keeps noting everything down, shaking her head.
But the girl just keeps walking, witnessing the Royal Greenland Trade Company of the 1800s, with ships heavily loaded with oil, whale meat, blubber, and sealskins. She walks further back to the 1700s, encountering the Danish mission and Hans Egede. Backward and toward something that has always been there.
Artistic introduction to the performance
Director Lotte Faarup talks about artistic, ethical and political considerations in connection with the creation of "The Wandering human". We will discuss the themes: privilege blindness, circular dramaturgies, management of other people's stories, the responsibility to break oppression and creating a theatre script on a collective basis.
