NUTCRACKER | the nuts talent show

KOMA BALLET & Odense Symfoniorkester

The Nutcracker production by KOMA Ballet, in partnership with Odense Symfoniorkester and international artists, takes place within the professional performing arts landscape that values youth development and in this context embodies the power of collaborations.
The production goes beyond contemporary dance; it is a cultural exchange initiative that believes that the exchange between artists who experience cultural diversity and plurality can add to the way we approach and make art. Selected prominent artists from Latin America, Canada and Greece come to join the Youth Danish Ensemble during the Christmas season, contributing their unique artistic perspectives and enriching the performance with a fusion of styles and experiences. This collaboration allows for a vibrant and dynamic reinterpretation of Tchaikovsky composition, blending classical traditions with contemporary influences from across cultures.

The project’s choreography is crafted by Alex Soares, Alex Soares, a long-time collaborator with our Kunstnerisk Leder, Caroline Rodrigues, and together they have built a successful partnership on the new version of the work. The fusion of classical music with contemporary dance ensures the production stays relevant while maintaining the integrity of The Nutcracker's classical roots. This collaboration allows for a rich dialogue between tradition and innovation, offering both the dancers and the audience a unique interpretation of the beloved classic.

JULETRÆET TÆNDES PÅ FLAKHAVEN

-

Odense by bliver hvert år en smule mere magisk, når den årlige juletræstænding på Flakhaven finder sted.
Julestemning indtager Flakhaven til den årlige juletræstænding!
Og igen i år har vi en ballerina, der ledsager lysene, når de tændes i Flakhaven!
Vores hovedperson fra vores danseforestilling, "JULEHJERTET", vil være der sammen med julemanden for at tage billeder og fejre dette magiske øjeblik.

Den hyggelige event markerer startskuddet til julemåneden og er en af Odenseanernes yndlingstraditioner. Det er byens borgmester, der i dagens anledning bliver hejst op i kranen og tænder de mange tusinde julelys. Der er musik og underholdning i byen og naturligvis kommer julemanden også på besøg på denne dag.
Godteposer udleveres fra kl. 16.00-16.50 til alle børn (så længe lager haves) Juletræet tændes kl. 17. Samtidig tændes resten af julebelysningen i centrum og det er et fantastisk syn når alle de mange lys og dekorationer lyser op og skaber en næsten magisk atmosfære.
