‘The Cabinet of Ages’
‘Alderskabinettet’
Is it life-prolonging to hold a stranger’s hand? What does a landscape of wrinkles look like? Can one rock oneself younger?
THE CABINET OF AGES is Professor Profelius’ wondrous collection of old objects and new knowledge.
A poetic performance-installation for all generations, where there is room to explore, to touch, to smell, to crawl, and to swing.
THE CABINET OF AGES is both performance and installation. Within the 40 minutes, the audience is invited to wander through the installation and discover its many stations – solving puzzles, opening drawers, and drawing in sand. Visitors are welcome to linger and stay longer.
“There is enchantment in abundance. Something for every sense. (…) Perhaps – and most likely – it is all invented. But that thought never occurs along the way. Thankfully. What one joins in, and what stirs both feelings and thoughts, are the transformations and the playful dance with time and old age.”
— Kirsten Dahl, Teateravisen.
The Cabinet of Ages is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation.
