“The Highlight of the festival (Frie Felts Festival, Cph). It is disorientation and comedy at the highest level. The show is going on tour - keep an eye on it.”
Anne Liisberg, Iscene.dk
“A celebration of the possibilities of theater and an invitation to explore all the different ways they can go”
Jens Fischer, Deutsche Bühne
“A sort of Post-Post-Dramatik Theatre (…). Sweet Dreams are made of this.”
Falk Schreiber, theater heute
“The zest for life and the frustration of life, portrayed in one single moment. Awesome!”

Summer 2020. Boys in Sync are meeting between the first and second Coronavirus wave to reflect on the Rise of the European Political Far Right.
The basis of their practical research is a German theatre play from 1925: “Der Fröhliche Weinberg" (eng: Happy Vineyards) by Carl Zuckmayer, a rough and dirty soap opera about heteronormative love intrigues - a bestseller, just like the autobiography "Mein Kampf" by Adolf Hitler, published in the same year.
Together with their co-performers Ragni and Gregers, who are stuck behind their national borders, Boys in Sync are connecting choreographic elements with references of drama theatre history as well as stereotypes of togetherness and masculinity, opening up a space that merges between clowning, contemporary dance and a teenage slumber party.
A comment on the contemporary theatre discourse, never leaving the liminal space between angry-nonsense and seriousness
„We’re not here to make art for artists, we are here to make art for the people, because we know, that their lives would be better, if they came to see our shows.“
60 min dance/theatre performance from 2020
with Ragni Halle, Jakob Krog, Simon Zeller
& Gregers Kroksleiven Hansen
