Detour x Oulouy KONG

Directed by visionary choreographer Oulouy, KONG is a beastly work that denounces imperialism and colonialism, performed by the Ivorian street dance icon Ordinateur, with the direct participation from Namibia of the multidisciplinary artist xamques. A manifesto where image and sound come together powerfully to deliver a performance rich in satire and symbolism, featuring a choreographic display that pushes the limits of a single movement’s potential.

Annual pass holders and members of Dansehallerne have limited ticket capacity and thus booking for KONG. As always, ticket booking is on a first-come, first-served basis.
