Carnival of the Animals tour

A dance experience for curious critters and adventurous souls on tour.

In Carnival of the Animals (Djurens karneval) a magical universe full of imaginative creatures awaits. To the tones of Camille Saint-Saëns’s classical masterpiece Le carnaval des animaux, spectacular beings welcome you to a place outside our world, where fantasy and reality can meet.

Spanish choreographer Marcos Morau and Skåne Dansteater’s dancers borrow details from reality to pick them apart and force them together, creating new truths and narratives.

Become inspired by the ingenuity of Marcos Morau’s peculiar movement language and Silvia Delagneau's fantastic costumes. But stay on your toes, in Djurens karneval the step from loving animals to nasty beasts is teeny-tiny.

The performance is suitable for all ages from 7 to 110.

"'Djurens karneval' may have been tailored to a young audience, but offers a delightful introduction to the world of dance to anyone who wants to for a brief hour experience that anything is possible."

—  Sydsvenskan

"a fantasy world, on new levels - unforgetable."

—  Danstidningen

"From the lyrically beautiful to, the occasionally grotesque, comic stage magic where every movement seems to lead to another and each object is a vehicle for fantasy and dance, play and connection."

—  Växjöbladet

"Comedy requires hard work and extreme attention to detail and Morau and his dancers deliver."
