The last Supper, how did we get here?
We have been invited to a last supper. We don’t really know why or what happens after this, but we are here for a reason.
Seated at long tables, we gather for the last supper – with five performers among us. The
performers take turns in the spotlight, each telling their story of being trapped in life’s web of
thoughts and destructive patterns through dizzying acrobatics, immersive physical theater, dance,
live music, and plenty of humor.
The Last Supper is not food theater, but the sensory dishes served along the way complement the
scenes with aromas, visuals, flavors, and sounds. Right before the audience’s eyes, on the tables,
the performers demonstrate how we can transform habitual thinking and self-destruction into
something hopeful – if we dare to let go.
It is a largely wordless contemporary circus performance that speaks to a broad
audience. At one moment, they may be captivated by breathtaking, poetic circus, and in the next,
reflect on their, you, and our lived lives.
The performance premiered on 7. march 2024.
It is touring in Denmark from the 30. January – 27. February 2025 and is available for touring.
The performance is created in two versions and can therefore easily be scaled up or down to fit
both spaces where all audience members sit at long tables (maximum 70 people) and more
traditional theater stages, where part of the audience sits at long tables while the rest of the
audience is seated in the usual theater setup.
The press wrote:
“We have very few circus companies in Denmark, but with this performance, GLIMT Amager
demonstrates that the genre has a clear place in the performing arts landscape, because through
its phenomenally subtle combination of dance, drama, and circus disciplines, it offers us new
stories about being present in the here and now”
“It is insanely funny, executed with nonchalant mastery, poetic, and a bit uncanny.”
★★★★★ Anne Liisberg, Iscene, March 11 2024
“… here, everything is explored through a poetic dramaturgy that makes you rejoice inwardly.”
“… like a rush and a manifestation that we all have human battles to fight, that we dream of
something, and that our dreams can be fulfilled. And all of this is conveyed by the five performers
through a sensory, surprise-filled, and physical cocktail of light, sounds, shapes, and movements in
the space.”
