CONCEIVED & DIRECTED by ANNE ELMHOLT
DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION with LAURA SPOTTAG FOG
PERFORMED by ADEYA EHLERN, KRISTA MILLMAN, OLIVIA SIMONSEN, LAURA SPOTTAG FOG, AGNES STAUTZ & JULIE ELISABETH VILLUMSEN
SCENOGRAPHY & LIGHTING DESIGN by ANNE ELMHOLT
ARTISTIC ADVICE from SODJA LOTKER & SERGE VON ARX
IT BORDERS ON investigates the line between you and me, the line between us and them, where we end and others begin. The line between authentic and fake, between high-art and low-art. It explores the situations that occur when we cross a line and whether it’s possible to absorb something without taking it from someone or somewhere.
Walking this tightrope, it explores how we aren’t an isolated entity but a construction created through our social relations and the places we find ourselves in. How does place impact our identity, our behaviour, and our perception? How do people, culture, and memory?
The project borders on being a performance and an art installation. It takes shape as a game, where performers create and recreate artworks, exploring how their placement and what they are in relation to affects our perception and understanding of them.
First performed at DASPA, COPENHAGEN, NOVEMBER 28 to NOVEMBER 30 2023

INFO
Anne Elmholt works as a performance maker and scenographer. She uses scenography and space as a catalyst for dramaturgical scores and systems and further develops them by drawing inspiration from other fields, such as science, sociology, anthropology etc. In this process she has a strong focus on developing strategies that further involves the audience as an active part of the creation process, aiming to create a stronger dialogue between performance art/space and spectators. Through her work, she tests and explores current discourses in society.
Anne Elmholt is currently based in Copenhagen (DK). She studied Performance: Design and Practice at Central Saint Martins in London (UK) with a focus on image-driven devising, as well as Performance Art/Scenography at the Danish National School of Performing Arts (DK). She has worked across the UK and the Scandinavian countries. She is the co-artistic director of the Danish/German performance group Forestille/Vorstellen.
