In Last Hurrah, the various emotional sides of celebration rise to the surface.
In Last Hurrah—a wonderfully awkward party performance—the various emotional sides of celebration rise to the surface. Accompanied by popular party songs and a party horn concerto, the protagonist, choreographer Sara Grotenfelt, struggles her way through the crowd. Through simple actions in complex bodily situations she insists on showing what she needs to show before her inner smile fades out.
The performance is part of Moving in November 5.–15.11.2026.
