Mette Ingvartsen
Skatepark
Legend has it that skateboarding was born when low waves forced surfers in Los Angeles out of the water and onto the asphalt. Since then, skating has evolved into a unique choreography. It interacts with the surfaces of the city, reclaiming public space with high speed and daring tricks. In April, this art of movement takes over our main stage: Together with a group of skaters and dancers, choreographer Mette Ingvartsen transforms the K6 into a skatepark. She expands the traditional dance vocabulary with kickflips, 180s, and boardslides – a vivid reminder of her youth, when she was a skater herself.
This high-energy performance playfully pushes the boundaries of what’s possible and gives rise to a utopian community where skateboarding and dance merge into one shared, striking, and fast-paced choreography.
