Theater Minsk creates dance theatre for children and young people. The theater works with a physical narrative-language, which is both accessible and relevant to a young audience and develops dance theater as an art form in meetings between artists and artistic formats. Meeting the audience is the theater’s principal driving force and each performance is therefore focused on contact, cooperation, and co-creation. Theater Minsk is proud to present a number of different and very unique artists. The artistic leadership is responsible for overall direction, artistic ideas and concepts and appears in the theater’s performances. Each performance is, however, a cooperative process, where director, choreographer and artists meet and pushes the bundaries of narrative forms and dance.
