Who are the little creatures that live on and under the forest floor? In the dance performance Økohelter, the children can join in a bustling and poetic microworld - and themselves contribute to the cycle of nature.

With the forest as its theme, Økohelter is an all-consuming dance performance about the heroic little creatures who work hard every day to keep the forest alive.

The children can join
The four dancers show us how small insects, fungi and plants grow and entangle themselves, clean and build. The audience sits around the stage, before they are gradually invited into the work. It is both solemn and playful - and with plenty of room for wonder at how life in the forest is connected.

Play, fantasy and facts "For us, climate and the environment are important, which is why the forest is the theme of this performance," say the four dancers in STICKY, who investigate societal themes through the body and the sensual. Balancing fantasy and fact, Ecoheroes is a playful exploration of the forest and its little superheroes.

The performance is suitable for children aged 4 and up, and for playful adults.
Duration: 40 min with 10 min of play after
