Rainbow/Regnbuen
Join us on an odyssey through the wonders of the Rainbow - to a universe of unexpected contrasts and sensory impressions, where we examine the infinite nuances of our inner rainbows. A thoughtful, dancing installation that invites families and everyone from 0-100 years to experience dance, design and sound. Together we explore the hope of diversity.Five fantastic, dancing costumes created by Henrik Vibskov and choreographed by Ray Roa Alonso will magically transform both body and space, in interaction with a soundscape by Cristian Vogel, which fills the space with electronic sounds.
In Regnbuen we invite the audience on a journey to inner and outer rainbows. We pursue the hope of a diverse future – where people are empowered by respecting and appreciating what makes them different. Be it age, gender, ethnicity, religion, physical ability, sexual orientation, education or national origin. But does this future only exist in our imaginations? How is diversity represented in our society? How do we create a world where diversity can flourish?
With a strong and queer expression, the Rainbow offers a view of new paths. Perhaps not the path that leads to the treasure at the end of the rainbow - but rather a continuous pursuit where we experience glimpses of joy and delight. Roads where we challenge the fear and hatred which again and again set limits to diversity and which displace our inner rainbows. And just as this pursuit never stops, neither do our rainbows.
The public is welcome to go to and from the work and experience the Rainbow at their own pace. You can sit, lie down and stand up along the way.

"Phantom Muse" Premired at Nordlys/P-noise 2016-17 Contemporary Dance edition at MET, Manila Philippines
Phantom muse is created based on character’s personalities, from people he has met or come across on line researches and he’s infused memories of 80’s TV and famous people around around at the time.
These characters where often fictional superheroes from Japanese manga cartoon to Bio Man, creating from a blank canvas of a body which is then transformed into a new body. With this new work Ray is collaborating Thinkinghand Duo, Rhoda Ting and Mikkel Dahlin Bojesen are currently exploring the pull of gravity and the obstruction of the senses in creating a wearable sculpture contraption that can serve as the mask incarceration of the Phantom Muse.
