Hyper Coral

Hyper Coral is an interactive dance performance for babies 0 – 2 years (0-24 months) and their grown ups, that draws inspiration from the intricate and vibrant world of coral reefs and premiered at Betty Nansen Theatre in Copenhagen on May 24th, 2025.

These ecosystems, both complex and beautiful, are a testament to the symbiotic relationship between corals and microscopic algae – each dependent on the other for survival. Due to the environmental challenges, corals stand as symbols of sensitivity and vulnerability.

Hyper Coral explores these themes, aiming to spark contemplation on how humans can foster deeper connections with each other, nature, and all living beings. And to encourage a more conscientious approach to caring for the vulnerable aspects of life.
