Jo Strømgren Kompani (Norway) - A Dance Tribute to Ping Pong
The intellectual recipe is a mix of Yin and Yang, Heaven and Hell, Stephen Hawking and Uri Geller, with a dash of Kahlil Gibran and Bruce Lee on top.
A Dance Tribute to Ping Pong has been on the sketch board for almost a decade, in search for the right moment to take the potential further. The production maintains a fearless approach to popular culture and represents the pure dance style of the company.
In addition, puppet theatre is particularly present this time, along with a voiceover in badly spoken English. The show’s storyboard has deliberate similarities to the average american B-film script – a team of bleach white youngsters are taught Eastern philosophy in record time and take ping pong to a transcendental level. The thematic greyzone is deliberately grey – bouncing between respectless blasphemy at worst and charming naiveness at best.
