ArthroPod
ArthroPod by Plire Multi Dance is a dance performance inspired by arthropods.
A quick search for the word arthropod in Wikipedia can scare most of us. Are you among those who saw the movie Arachnophobia at the beginning of the 1990es, or have you involuntarily quenched an angry little many-legged creature crawling through your hair?

ArthroPod by Plire Multi Dance combines dance, music and film in a tightly interwoven expression.
Arthropod is a collecting term for creatures in the animal kingdom which have more legs than most of us like. Plire Multi Dance gives us a dance production which consciously takes advantage of our connotations to these creatures, such as spiders and other insects. ArthroPod is a dance performance which is inspired by the horror film genre.
Choreographer Tharan Revfem and the company have oriented across the genres and found collaborators in the musicians Martin Horntveth and Jenny Hval plus the film creators in Tundra group.
