HABITAT
by Dorish Uhlich
Habitat is a celebration of all bodies, all ages, all genders. 40 bodies create a shared ritual in motion where everyone is welcome. The 40 bodies take you on a walk around Refshaleøen between wild and vulnerable tableaux - from the industrial past to the future we can glimpse in the distance with the construction of a new island. A new habitat.
Habitat is a utopia. A shameless but also a free-of-shame hymn to a naked body beyond cultural inscriptions and conventional ideals of beauty. The body is not devalued to the level of a fetish, an object; and carnality is neither metaphorically nor poetically ideologized but understood in a material sense and is therefore presented in all its mass and weight yet also in its fragility.

Participants:
“en enormt befriende oplevelse”
- Den 4. Væg
“The naked body, liberated from societal constraints, shed its erotic connotations and returned to its human essence. As a result, it reclaimed its place as a natural entity within an interconnected ecosystem of relationships and dialogue.”
- The Theatre Times
“Doris Uhlichs 40 nøgne performere indtager søgende Refshaleøen som en sværm af individer, og sejrer som en organisme der insisterer på at være ét med sine omgivelser. Med sit levested.”
