METTE INGVARTSEN Skatepark

Legend has it that skateboarding was born when low waves forced surfers out of the water and onto the asphalt in Los Angeles. Since then, skating has evolved into a unique choreography. It plays with the surfaces of cities and appropriates public space with high speed and daring tricks.

In April, this art of movement conquers our big stage: together with a group of skaters and dancers, choreographer Mette Ingvartsen transforms K6 into a skate park. She adds kickflips, 180s and boardslides to the usual dance vocabulary - a vivid reminder of her youth, when she was a skater herself. The energetic performance playfully pushes the boundaries of what is possible and creates a utopian community in which skateboarding and dance merge in a joint, impressive and fast-paced choreography.
