July 1996: "Polaroid" on European (Rodkilde) Theatre highschool.

June 1996: "Polaroid" In Lithuania, a Baltic Festival in Kretinga, Lithuania.

Quoation from a Lithuanian theatre critic about the performance:

"It was really challenging both in its form and contents.
It justified the creators professional skills presenting a high standard of artistic quality being combined with a
clear philosophical message which made a strong impact on the audience.
It was something special for our audience who is not used to treat theatre as an entertainment.
In that sense "Polaroid" provided a great deal of inspiration for our theatre people to more trust in symbolic language
as a universal one able to break the verbal and perceptional barriers.
CIRK's performance expanded and enriched the experience of both Baltic actors and other spectators and
gave a better general understanding of the Danish modern dance theatre."

Maj 1996: "Polaroid" in a Circus-tent placed in a park in Copenhagen.

Synops of the play "Polaroid".:
The moods of the Big city and the effect it has on the people living in it, the implements it has on our nerve-system.
The Stress, Tension & intense Masculinity, and the conflict between the basic social instincts and the demands in the modern Big city-life.
Basic instincts meaning; Sensitivity, Femininity, Zen/Religiousness.
Emotional sequences choreographed in close cooperation with the composition of the music that ranges from classical through ambient to techno.
The dancers are closely connected to the music which leeds them through several emotional settings and ways of expressing them.
They are 7 dancers (5 female, 2 male) Sometimes they use vocal dance and subtile mimical expressions and sometimes
they change rapid and unexpected in moods. The dancers are always very intense and both unison and different in their personalities.
