CAVE

"If you can see your own shadow, is it also a part of you?

The critically acclaimed American choreographer Rena Butler makes her European debut with Norrdans. The piece Cave is based on The Allegory of the Cave by Plato, conveyed through physical and strong dance as a story about prejudice and preconceived notions, about decolonization and new knowledge.

Although more than 2,000 years have passed since Plato’s Allegory of the Cave was created, the subject is as relevant now as it was back then. It is with clairvoyance and artistic finesse that Butler grasps the subject and applies it to our contemporary time."
