DON McEnroe and Björn GNU face each other once again in the ultimate duel we all have been waiting for!
A nerve-wracking battle of finger knitting, tango wrestling, dirty tricks and the best 80s style, to be able to judge the other out. But who are we really fighting?
Don’t miss out on this action-packed, poetic hunt for true fighter spirit. It’s Wimbledon 1980, Bloodsport, slapstick comedy and beautiful dance mixed up by two anti-heroes trying to untangle the net they themselves have entangled.
DON GNU is a guarantee of physical action theatre and dance combined in a playfull and poetic power universe!
The company was founded in 2010 by the two choreographers Jannik Elkær and Kristoffer Louis Andrup, who also constitute the artistic duo at the helm of DON GNU. Today the company is one of the most touring companies in Denmark. In addition to extensive tour activities in Denmark, DON GNU has also toured in all the Nordic Countries, South Korea, Canada, big parts of Europe and Cuba.
The company’s name is built around the paradox embedded in the name DON GNU. Don as an individual, and Gnu (wildebeest) as a herd animal, the constellation of both the individual and the collective creates the dynamism, experimentation and development-basis for the ideas that are the hallmark of DON GNU productions.
