BANGER
Music for contemporary dance, Black Box Theatre (2024)

BANGER is a sensory pop-poetic happy hour seeking to stretch out time, seize the moment and enjoy being together.

BANGER is a collaboration between composer Ingvild Langgård and choreographer Magnus Myhr. We want to invite the audience into a physical and acoustic environment where pop-music is dissected and stretched to the max. We are searching for the mental and physical joy, comfort and satisfaction that music can provide and create a sensory pop-poetic banger for dreaming and being.
A pop song cannot change the world. Not een your life situation. Everything stays the same. Still, everything is different. How little is necessary for something to change?

DON'T FORGET THE SONGS THAT MADE YOU SMILE… AND THE SONGS THAT SAVED YOUR LIFE

Det er her det understrekes for meg at det er lyden og musikken som holder alt samlet. Den holder oss som publikum samlet også.

Musikken er gjennomgående svært fengende og groovy
