About Miss Julie - Danish Dance Theatre
A brutal and raw reinterpretation of August Strindberg’s scandalous love triangle
ABOUT MISS JULIE, choreographed by the American choreographer Stephen Shropshire, is a reinterpretation of August Strindberg’s breakthrough, the love triangle ‘Miss Julie’ from 1888. Shropshire’s works are known for being aesthetic, engaging and intellectually thought provoking. In this dance performance, Shropshire has worked in close collaboration with the dancers to create a raw uncompromising version og August Strindberg’s naturalistic play about gender roles and the struggles of power and class. Universal themes, which are still debated today.
ABOUT MISS JULIE is a co-production between Stephen Shropshire, Danish Dance Theatre and Holland Dance Festival.
The performance had its premiere at Holland Dance Festival in January 2018. The Danish premiere was at the Opera’s Takkelloft in June 2019.
