Reptile Youth frontman Mads Damsgaard meets Abby Portner, the visual sorceress from Animal Collective, in this live performance, where music and film interact. Mads Damsgaard is perhaps best known for his very energetic (and slightly unsafe) stage performances. For this project, however, his voice is the center of attention, accompanied by Abigail Portner’s unique visual universe. A gifted designer, director of films and musician, she conjures up an often dreamlike, playful childhood universe, populated by all sorts of creatures: puppets, animals, masked children, with a pinch of the sinister and gloomy. Artistic sparks are guaranteed to fly, when these two thunderous tempers meet. Jakob Torp Littaur will accompany them on the piano. The performance has been created with support from Mercedes-Benz and is presented in cooperation with CPH:DOX.
