The Nordic Beasts The Ultimate Battle
A work by the Finnish dancer and choreographer Noora Hannula, The Ultimate Battle is inspired by dating simulator games and animé, with hologram technology developed for the 4D Box in The Culture Yard in Elsinore, Denmark. As Noora discovers her boyfriend is flirting with a virtual character named Soma, she enters the virtual realm herself to seek out her romantic rival, culminating in a dance-fight between flesh and code, the real and the virtual. As the line between virtual and real worlds becomes increasingly blurred, if even the realm of love is infiltrated by virtual humans, are we still our own masters?
The Nordic Beasts
Founded in 2017, The Nordic Beasts is a dance theatre group that aims to produce, facilitate and support high quality Nordic dance theatre. A Nordic Beasts production can be characterized by an eye-catching visual style, physically merciless choreography and themes reflecting on the digital age, often served with a hint of absurdity. The group aims to be a dance company that keeps on exploring new ways for making dance theatre and creating platforms, while tackling contemporary topics in an innovative way.
The group is a Nordic cross borders dance theater group that operates under the artistic direction of choreographer Noora Hannula (FI), and it has currently seven collaborative artist members: Julie Rasmussen (NO), Elín Sígny (IS) Sophia Mage (DK/US), Ida Duelund (DK), Helena Wilhelmsson (SE), Belinda Larsen (DK), John P.G. Jónsson (IS), and Loraine Dambermont (BE).
