The performance will take place in the exhibition in CC’s Hall 3 and has a duration of about 1 hour. It is possible to move freely around in the exhibition during the performance.

About Celeste

Celeste marks the meeting of the four distinct practices of Cæcilie Trier, August Rosenbaum, Lea Guldditte Hestelund and Ea Verdoner.
Centred around a circular crater, Celeste unfolds as a visual and sonic narrative that lets the audience immerse and lose themselves in the sensuous space. Sound, sculpture, video, fragrance and performance is merged within the exhibition space emphasising individual interconnectedness to others; things and beings – through tempo, position, scale and accessibility.
During the duration of the exhibition, a series of performances will transform the installation into a cohesive circuit of relations between human beings and other presences, between the audience and a soloist, culminating in a concert by Trier and Rosenbaum. Read more about the exhibition here.

About the performance

During the duration of the exhibition, a series of performances will expand the exhibition’s exploration of time and presence. Here, the artists will animate the space along with a solo dancer. These performances constitute a central point of tension where the installation is transformed into a cohesive circuit of relations between human beings and other presences, between the audience and a soloist, culminating in a concert by Trier and Rosenbaum.

Performers: Cæcilie Trier, August Rosenbaum, Olivia Riviere.

This performance is also part of the program for Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2021.
