The Genesis

Founded in 2024, the Copenhagen Collective brings together 20 artists from different nations and cultures and is coming to Düsseldorf with its first, already internationally acclaimed show “The Genesis”. “Genesis” means creation, emergence or birth, on stage everything is at the beginning: a blank canvas conveys the original state and an abstract emotional landscape. The collective tells a touching story of compassion and emerging community, of the power of togetherness and strength through differences. A soundscape with classical music and a pinch of jazz and blues combines a sacred aura with club energy and accompanies the company through their furious show.
