In NET, a web moves in and sprawls across the room. Accompanied by three dancers, we will unravel the performance, as a choreographic kaleidoscope unfolds. Together, we get lost in an undulating landscape of 192 elastic squares, which, with dance as a motor, opens doors to new spaces where our imagination can proliferate. Through catchy beats and melodic loops, we build a shared aesthetic experience together.

In contrast to contemporary ideas of identity, autonomy, and independence, NET invites you to dance by allowing you to be a link in the chain, a thread in the web, or an atom in the molecule. With speculative curiosity, we get to experience ourselves as parts of new configurations in constant transformation. Could this be a world where singing cats appear, and pixelated avatars dance in a pyramid?

NET is created specifically for a gym hall context and is aimed at children between 5-9 years of age.

Since 2018, OR/ELLER has cultivated an interest in interactive performance formats (WEB 2018 and V 2020), within a series called the WEB-series. The series is based on a choreographic and scenographic concept, which will result in four performances. In 2023, the third part, NET, will be created, diving into a mobile performance format. Unlike our previous visually powerful stage performances, with extensive set designs, this performance will move into the children's school environment as well as other types of rooms.
