We are beyond grateful that WHITEOUT has been honored with ‘Dance Performance of the Year 2025’ at the Danish National Theater Awards, Årets Reumert 2025.
A heartfelt thank you to the Jury at Årets Reumert for choosing WHITEOUT.
Jury’s Motivation:
It was so sensually beautiful it almost took your breath away. A boundless no man’s land of snow, feather-light rolls, and airborne choreography. Four contemporary dancers moved organically through a visual snowstorm with blinking eyes and crooked hands. Grief, suicide, shame, and loss were given body and motion, as we were drawn into a swirling storm of emotions.
The biggest thanks go to all the incredible people who brought WHITEOUT to life:
