AWAKE 2014
A CONTEMPLATION OF LINEAGE, LOSS AND THE MEANING OF LIFE
In this offbeat tragicomic eulogy, Ivan Hansen ponders his grandfather's diaries, performs original music, and shares a highly personal tale that ends with a bit of a dance, conversation, and a cup of hot coffee.
Awake is the third part of our Ivan Hansen trilogy - which also award winning performances Posthumous Works and Next Door - featuring works of authentic fiction investigating themes of loss and connection.
Awake was commissioned by Kitt Johnson for X-Act's Mellemrum Festival - a bi-annual site-specific festival that ran in Copenhagen from 2008 until 2014, supported by the Danish Arts Council. Awake was developed at the Frederiksholm Kirke in Sydhavnen.
