Granhøj Dans
Granhøj Dans’ productions are created by Palle Granhøj, in close collaboration with the performers.
Making use of the Obstruction Technique, he reshapes the movements of the performers by means of hindering actions, revealing inner layers of their personality in the process, thus turning the spotlight on human condition.
Being supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, the company’s shows have been presented broadly throughout the world, the past 35 years.
Palle Granhøj and the company have attained numerous prizes and rewards, among them 4 as “best dance performance of the year”, granted by the prestigious Danish performing arts industry’s Reumert Award.
This is not Romeo and Juliet, by Granhøj Dans
Is a piece about love in times of war in Europe. It transcends Shakespere’s classic narrative to offer an enriched perspective, inviting to examine the complexity of human relations. Featuring not just one but three loving couples in diverse stages of life, displaying the artistry of four terrific dancers and two outstanding musicians.
At the heart of the performance lies the music – a dynamic blend and live execution of motifs drawn from prominent compositions associated with the story. Featuring works by Prokofiev, Mancini, and Gounod, the music underlines the universal theme of profound love and the cruel intrusion of death.
Other shows available for touring.
