Pling Pong Ekspress (ages 9-13)

Vinterhagen / Floor 1

12.00 - 16.00

Play ping pongand make music at the same time! Pling Pong Ekspress is a remote-controlled table tennis table with a built-in sound system underneath. The bats are fitted with sensors which make sounds when the ball hits them, creating an atmospheric sonic backdrop. The table can also move around, filling the room with sound effects, techno music, loops and ambient sounds. The table’s creators, the duo known as Samvær Under Tilsün, act as umpires, sound engineers and hosts to keep the game going. You can drop in and try it any time, all day.

Mysterious creatures rise up from the floor, with hunched backs, tentacles and beaks. They creep and crawl, twist and shuffle around. Are they from another planet?
Lava Forest is a performance for all the senses in which dancers take the shape of different beings and move their own bodies and the cloth scenery to create associations with various landscapes and environments. The audience sits on four sides of the stage close up to the action.

The performance is inspired by Inger Hagerup’s poem ‘At the Bottom of the Sea there are Ships’.
