Don Gnu
DON GNU is a guarantee of physical action theatre and dance combined in a playful and poetic power universe!
The company was founded in 2010 by the two choreographers Jannik Elkær and Kristoffer Louis Andrup, who also constitute the artistic duo at the helm of DON GNU. Today the company is one of the most touring companies in Denmark.
The company’s name is built around the paradox embedded in the name DON GNU. Don as an individual, and Gnu (wildebeest) as the collective herd animal, creates the dynamism, experimentation and development-basis for the ideas that are the hallmark of DON GNU productions.
