EN CORPS

On the 3rd and the 4th of June, the star dancers from the Paris Opera will come to visit København Danser at Østre Gasværk Theatre. On this occasion, Cinemateket and København Danser would like to focus on the Paris Opera company with a film about dance, an introduction to the festival and selected guests.

The French feel-good film 'En corps' is about the promising ballet dancer, Elise, from the Paris Opera company, who is injured at the age of 26. When she is told that she can no longer dance professionally, she looks for new ways. It leads her in the direction of a new love and into the world of modern dance.

In connection with the film, København Danser will interview a former ballet dancer Alexander Kølpin about the transition to a new working life. The conversation will be in Danish and will last approx. 20 minutes.
