Habitat / Kopenhagen
Habitat is a celebration of all bodies, all ages, all genders. 40 bodies create a shared ritual in motion where everyone is welcome. The 40 bodies take you on a walk around Refshaleøen between wild and vulnerable tableaux - from the industrial past to the future we can glimpse in the distance with the construction of a new island. A new habitat.
Habitat is a utopia. A shameless but also a free-of-shame hymn to a naked body beyond cultural inscriptions and conventional ideals of beauty. The body is not devalued to the level of a fetish, an object; and carnality is neither metaphorically nor poetically ideologized but understood in a material sense and is therefore presented in all its mass and weight yet also in its fragility.
