In the performance "Art of dying" we are taken on a joyride with tops of humour and physical poetry. The actors Paolo Nani and Kristján Ingimarsson really are great masters of precision.
Aided by mime art, magic, poetry, a little wisdom and a large portion of madness the two comedians Paolo Nani and Kristján Ingimarsson present a warm, grandioso tribute to life.

"Comically and paralysing clever slapstick with a tragic counterpoint" Politiken
"They are clowns, they are mime artists, they are dancers – they are wonderful. They are called Paolo Nani and Kristján Ingimarsson, and in 80 minutes they make a perfectly enchanting wordless little performance, totally spellbinding and entertaining. (...) The performance is a wonder of precision and enchantment." Berlingske Tidende
