LENA BRUUN BONDESON DIRECTOR & PERFORMING ARTIST



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 ISCENE: Begavet aktivisme-satire



New Nordic Poling (NNP) is a movement of eight activist pole dancers who “poles 4 change.”

The performance unfolds at NNP’s annual recruitment meeting, where their documentary Radical Embrace has its premiere. The audience follows the movement as they create banners, challenge Extinction Rebellion on May 1st in Copenhagen’s Sydhavn, and travel to Svalbard to “Pole 4 the melting pole” with their new portable pole.

In an intimate, mildly interactive setup - blending live action with film screening - the audience follows NNP’s highs and lows. NNP investigates power structures and plans happenings, but faces unexpected challenges of activist group work. What does it mean to practice what you preach? And when does a group become a group?

NNP is about hopelessness, resilience, and the (im)possible pursuit of collective meaning.
