HIMHERANDIT PRODUCTIONS Himherandit Productions are one of the in-house companies co-produced by Bora Bora – dans og visuelt teater and is led by artistic director, performer and choreographer Andreas Constantinou. In 2013 Himherandit Productions began a six-year performance program titled The GENDERhouse Projects, a large project that has contained yearly performances, exhibitions and community engagement projects that spanned out between 2013-2018. All the projects have each addressed different themes of gender, sexuality and identity. The GENDERhouse Pprojects have had great success with immense critical and audience responses throughout Europe, two awards by the Danish Arts Foundation for ReDOING GENDER (2014) and The WOMANhouse (2015), and selected as one of Europe’s twenty most exciting emerging dance companies at Aerowaves16 and again at Aerowaves17. In 2017 Himherandit Productions was nominated for a Reumert Award in the cate- gory Best Dance Performance in Denmark with WoMAN&WOMAN, and in December 2017 Himherandit Productions’ performance GARDEN was listed as one of Den- mark’s top ten best performances by Den 4. Væg. In 2018 Himherandit Productions have been nominated for a Reumert Award with the performance GARDEN. Himherandit Productions has toured extensively with a wide variation of The GENDERhouse performances venturing into over 26 European destinations including some of Europe’s leading dance theatres such as: Chaillot Theatre National de la Danse in Paris (FR), and Mercat de le flors in Barcelona (ES). Now for The GENDERhouse Festival, Himherandit Productions presents an extended body of work developed over the past six-years alongside invited guest artists/ companies working with themes of gender, sexuality and identity to spark artistic discourse and inject “otherness” into the Aarhus cultural landscape.

SEPTEMBER 19:30-20:30 BORA BORA, BIG STAGE The WOMANhouse ARTIST: HIMHERANDIT PRODUCTIONS (DK), TYPE: DANCE The WOMANhouse sees four powerfully athletic female performers transform them- selves into men. Acting like typical blokes - with beards and all - they stir up fights and frenzy. Questioning masculinity in female bodies, they tear up stereotypical ideas about what it is to be a man. Tender, aggressive, sexy, blurry - this show crosses all the lines. The WOMANhouse was selected as one of the top twenty dance works for Aerowaves16. CREDITS: Director/Choreographer: Andreas Constantinou, Performers: Helena Wilhelmssen, Sarah Armstrong, Antoinette Helbing, Hilde Sandvold, Scenography and Light Design: Jeppe Cohrt, Music: Philippe Jaroussky, Death Note, Nirvana, Vivaldi 14.-15. SEPTEMBER 19:30-20:15 BORA BORA, BIG STAGE ReDOING GENDER 2.0 ARTIST: HIMHERANDIT PRODUCTIONS (DK), TYPE: DANCE In this solo, a male performer challenges patriarchal masculinities to question norma- tive and non normative male gender roles. From classical sculptures of male ideals, a gender confused ape, feminized frolics, a box headed individual, to a full blown crying baby with a mans body. ReDoing GENDER is filled with intense imagery that displays one mans search for an identity amid the gaze of a patriarchal society. CREDITS: Director/Choreographer: Andreas Constantinou,
