"Skater-Kleins"

Live-Act at Update © 1996.

The Performance "Skater Klein" unfolded later that same year inside the Royal Danish Theatre’s Turbine Halls. For twenty minutes, a group of young skaters from Copenhagen’s inner city rode furiously through the vast industrial space to pounding techno.

The group took the task with such commitment that one participant was hospitalized afterward, a stark reminder of the physical stakes embedded in the work. Skater Klein became a fleeting, kinetic sculpture of risk and youth, transforming the hall into an arena of friction between freedom and formality.
