The company writes the following, among other things, about the production:
"In Shine Utopians, Harald & Louis transform Dansens Hus into a parallel society, in which the body is in constant transformation and development. A place where familiar movements are no longer what we think they are, and where biology has lost its power, made us into indefinable unities. From November 7 to 10, conversations, lectures, performance art events, concerts, parties and other social events will take place, in addition to performances.
(…)
In our utopian village shoes are not worn, so make sure that you are wearing socks you are fond of showing off."
