Come and enter the unknown. A place where shapes emerge, take form, and disappear. Where scent can summon a memory you are not sure you have lived. Where sound can transport you somewhere that may or may not exist. Where images can be felt rather than seen. From Oct 31st to Nov 14th, IMAGINARIUM invites you to enter a portal into darkness: into dreams, subconscious landscapes and possible futures. Here, time loses its familiar shape; a moment can stretch into an eternity. Come ready to enter the dark, listen closely, and imagine what might be there.

"Darkness makes me uneasy, but when I stay in it, my mind creates shadows and movements. As my sight disappears, my other senses take over — along with my imagination" IMAGINARIUM is a dance performance in darkness and therefore, the scenography plays a large role in creating the universe. The physical universe is created by scenographer Lærke Barfod, assisted by Alberte Hummelshøj Andersen and Alma Boix Vives. She's also created the costumes. They've chosen the materials for the way they behave and transform in darkness. Some reflect even the smallest amount of light, while others offer a more tactile and organic quality.

Meet the IMAGINARIUM team 🔸 Cecilie Kjær is a dance artist based in Copenhagen and one of the IMAGINARIUM dancers. She says that they’ve worked a lot with what they call imagination journeys - “I can for instance imagine that I’m floating in the deep sea or that my body has a different shape or matter, which will consequently change the way I move.” IMAGINARIUM 31/10-14/11 BLACKBOX, Aaben Dans Get your tickets through link in bio 🔗 First photo: Karl Rummel #IMAGINARIUM #CecilieKjær #aabendans #beyonddarkness by @beyonddarkness

Beyond Darkness is born from a fascination with darkness and with what emerges from the unseen, the unspoken, the unknown. Sensorial worlds built from sounds, smells and sensations. But how do you do that? How do you work with dance - in the dark? Come to an Evening of Immersion, exploring art and the senses, on Thursday oct 8, 7pm. Here, Nadja Mattioli and Nanna Hanfgarn Jensen - the artists behind Beyond Darkness, will introduce and expand their artistic work and creative process behind IMAGINARIUM; a dance performance in darkness, which is performing at Aaben Dans in Nov. Find your tickets on our website! #beyonddarkness #artisttalk #aabendans #IMAGINARIUM by @beyonddarkness
IMAGINARIUM is a piece where complete darkness is central to its premise. But why? Because when we cannot see, our other senses begin to shift. Without visual information telling us what is there, we listen differently. We notice touch, temperature, texture, smell, breath, movement. We begin to fill the gaps with memory, association and imagination. Darkness creates a space where what is perceived and what is imagined can begin to overlap. It allows the unknown to remain unknown, and invites each person to create something within it. In IMAGINARIUM, darkness is not simply the absence of light. It is a choreographic condition: a way of experiencing, sensing and imagining beyond what is immediately visible. The piece is co-produced with Aaben Dans and will run from 31.10 - 14.11 at @aabendans.

On the day of the solar eclipse, we want to share some more information about IMAGINARIUM, our upcoming performance in October. IMAGINARIUM is rooted in the idea of activating our sense of imagination through darkness, text, sound, tactility, light — and, of course, choreography. The piece continues our very first deep dive, in 2020, into complete darkness and how it affects our senses, our perception, our thinking, our relationships, and our sense of self in space and time. Since then, darkness has been a strong partner in our artistic universe, manifesting in many different forms. In IMAGINARIUM, darkness will both be physical, as audiences will be immersed into longer periods without light; but it can also be understood in a more metaphorical or metaphysical sense. The piece is co-produced with Aaben Dans and will premiere on 31st October this year at @aabendans. More information will follow very soon!
