Danish Dance Theatre

LEANING TREE combines dance with newly composed symphonic music created by one of the Danish music scene’s new strong compositional voices, Signe Lykke, and choreography by the visually captivating choreographer, Fernando Melo. Melo is known for his magical tricks and dreamlike universes and, together with Raphael Frisenvænge Solholm, they have created a space that is constantly in motion.
