NEW NORDIC POLING

LENA BONDESON & SYDHAVN TEATER


“Fremragende konsulentsatire”

“...guddommeligt komiske, pseudo-videnskabelige oplæg”

“Kærligt, men også klarøjet”

“...herligt akavet klovnekomisk undersøgelse af aktivist begrepet”

“Gruppen formår at omsætte deres analytiske skarphed med en tæt på klovnet fremførelse (...) to the point i sin satire”

“En satire der udstiller og inkluderer på samme tid”

︎︎︎REVIEW: Begavet aktivisme-satire


New Nordic Poling (NNP) is a movement of seven activist pole dancers who are “Poling 4 Change.”

The performance unfolds at NNP’s annual recruitment meeting, where their self-initiated documentary, RADICAL EMBRACE, has its world premiere. The audience follows the movement as they create banners, challenge Extinction Rebellion on May 1st in Sydhavnen, and set off on a journey to Svalbard to “pole at the melting pole” with their new portable pole.

In an immersive setup—blending live action with film screening—the audience follows NNP’s highs and lows as they strive to “practice what they preach” and define their identity as a movement. NNP investigates climate change, capitalism, and colonization, alongside the everyday challenges that come with being an art-activist collective.
New Nordic Poling is about hopelessness, resilience, and the (im)possible pursuit of collective meaning.
