RE(W)RITE!
RE(W)RITE! is an immersive performance, a ritual space ridden of fictional elements, roles or characters, that takes the audience on a multisensorial journey.
RE(W)RITE! invites its guests to a universe of silent, intimate and shared experiences. What are the borders of intimacy? What does it take for us to be transparent and sincere, even in the encounter with perfect strangers?
What does it take for us to make ourselves available for intimacy, without the urge to hide or protect ourselves?
Creating frameworks for such unique encounters, is the foundation of Egnsteatret’s Human Specific Performances.
Egnsteatret is, since 1990, the Regional Theatre of the municipality of Vordingborg, Denmark.
The presentation of RE(W)RITE! at CPH STAGE 2022 is supported by the municipality of Frederiksberg.
RE(W)RITE! opened as a major installation for 15 performers in 8 large exposition spaces in collaboration with Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art in Copenhagen in May 2021.
It was later performed in its new and present touring format at Pergine festival in Italy, in July 2021.
Reviews from when RE(W)RITE! played in Copenhagen from the 19th of May – 12th of June 2021:
“The whole atmosphere is so sensually empathetic and inviting, even though the unpredictable can make the heart beat a little faster, at the same time it feels safe to be led.”

Audience feedbackAfter our performances we invite the audience to write about their experiences:The statements are from our performance in the Free Exhibition Building in Copenhagen in the period 19th of May - 12th of June 2021Never before have I managed to be so honest with strangers. Thank you for that.Honesty, even between strangers - deep honesty. Thank you for a safe space!I have just met four strangers and I feel seen, mirrored and gripped. I feel great care for the secrets that the others chose to share.I just shared some of my deepest secrets with a human I have never met before. I feel very grateful for the intimacy I just shared with another human being.Wow is enough description. But I need to write more. Wow how wild to feel seen and loved in such an intense way. Is it that easy?A very bodily experience with a human being that I do not know. Really beautiful. It felt almost spiritually.
