BROER. BRIDGES. PONTES.
Engaging a cross-cultural collaborations through dance, KOMA seeks to connect young artists
KOMA invites you into BROER, an artistic initiative that builds cultural bridges by connecting young dancers and diverse communities through collaborative performances.
The project showcases 4 differents works, in partnership with an international cast:
'Men In Coats'
A work choreographed by Tim Rushton to music by Philip Glass. Originally created in 2010 for Danish Dance Theatre, in this production, a new cast works directly with the internationally recognized choreographer.
'HU.GA'
Choreographed by Alex Soares, HU.GA is inspired by the Danish concept of hygge—a sense of comfort and intimacy, and celebrates a cultural encounter between Danish and Brazilian dancers. The work brings together artists from KOMA Ballet and Cia Jovem de Dança de Jundiaí.
'Young Woman With Her Eyes Closed'
Created by Alex Soares, the duet takes its name from a late 19th-century sculpture by Camille Claudel. The choreography emphasizes emotional presence and sensitivity and was nominated for best choreography at the APCA Awards in 2024.
'Between The Body and The Blue'
Choreographed by Henrique Rodovalho, this work explores questions of physical and spatial limits - where the body begins, how movement evolves and how expression emerges through form and sound. It has been presented internationally and now features a Brazlian/Danish cast.
It’s about dance as dialogue, bringing cultural diversity together in unforgettable experiences.

ANDERSEN FOREVER
Odense markerer 150-året for H.C. Andersens død
Vær med, når vi dyrker H.C. Andersens værker i en storslået markering. Fra datoen for hans 150 års dødsdag d. 4. august 2025 og ind i efteråret, fyldes byen med spændende events.
Markeringen af 150 året for H.C. Andersens død giver liv til de værker, der fokuserer på liv og død, savn, minde, efterliv og udødelighed. H.C. Andersen oplevede i den grad berømmelsen i sin levetid, og han var optaget af, hvordan andre i samtiden og eftertiden opfattede ham.
Vi hylder skaberkraften og ser på døden gennem eventyret og kunstens forsonende linse. Publikum kommer på vandring i H.C. Andersen Haven og gennem store dele af museet, H.C. Andersens Hus. Undervejs møder de musik, dans, kunst og fortælling.
Performancen er produceret i samarbejde med studerende fra SDMK - Syddansk Musikkonservatorium og KOMA Ballet samt professionelle aktører. Odense Blomsterfestival og H.C. Andersen Festivals er samarbejdspartnere.
Det er gratis at deltage, men nødvendigt at booke billet.
OBS! Billetter frigives på H.C.
Andersens fødselsdag den 2. april.
Eventet gentages to gange under H.C. Andersen Festivals i uge 34.
Projektet er skabt med støtte fra H.C. Andersen Fonden, Øernes Kunstfond, Jorcks Fond og H.C. Andersen Festivals
