Jazz diva Caroline Henderson and Tim Rushton, one of Denmark’s leading choreographers, have together created an intimate portrait of love when the Danish Dance Theatre’s international award-winning dancers, the cool and formidable songstress, and a dynamic jazz trio take to the Old Stage in Love Songs.
Tickets: The Royal Danish Theater
The world premiere of Love Songs takes place in a film noir universe after-party in the wee hours when night transforms into day. It’s time for the last dance, and the last song. The space exudes sensuality and the dancers bend their bodies into longing for love, with all that implies of joy, pain, expectation and disappointment. The music is that of the good old jazz classics, originally styled by Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan, given a new interpretation by Denmark’s great jazz artist, Caroline Henderson.
