With STUCK , Mounia Nassangar signs her first choreographic piece. Through the prism of the sensitive, she reveals the culture of whacking in a different way and explores the capacity of dance to take over from a failing speech.

With their bodies and stories, the 5 performers on stage each embody, through their flesh and gestures, the living memory of a dance of urgency and expression born of oppression.

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