“Grasping the floor…” is an elegant, humorous, effective and very expressive production, devised as a commentary on the eternal question why we – since the beginning of time, always somehow manage to make our life a living hell. The original dance language challenges the physical abilities of the human body, while the backdrop of a mystic fair-like atmosphere accompanied by live music performed by the popular band “Valravn” combines the harshness of traditional Scandinavian folklore instruments with a modern electronic sound.
