Jobbigt
Jobbigt (which means annoying, or tough, in Swedish) is the first dance piece by Ofelia Jarl Ortega made for a younger audience. Together, Marcus Baldemar, Ane Carlsen, Andrew Hardwidge and Laura Linna address the existential issues of being in a group together, sometimes getting what you want, sometimes not.
There is a lot to be done. Four dancers are trying to figure out how to get it done in the best way. There is a lot of working going on and pretending to work.
A show for kids (4-9 years old) and their adults – or for anyone’s inner kid.
After the performance, the audience is invited to experience and explore the stage.
