Monsters Between Myth and History
Talk and Performance with Marie Laurberg, Jessie Kleemann, and Martin Brandt Hansen
This event is part of Golden Days 2026.
On this evening, CC invites audiences to a conversation and performance exploring the monster as both a historical construct and a lived, bodily experience, featuring director Marie Laurberg and artists Jessie Kleemann and Martin Brandt Hansen. In her performance Qivittoq, Kleemann activates the mythological figure of the mountain wanderer—the outcast who leaves the community and becomes something other. Brandt Hansen draws on the masking tradition Mitaarneq, in which unrecognizable figures move between home, ritual, and community. Together, they explore how myths, rituals, and artistic practices can renegotiate the monstrous.
