Having created a series of unique solo performances since 1992, Kitt Johnson now unfolds her distinctive artistic universe in a full evening solo piece, The Mirror, which takes us further into the mysterious layers of human nature. The performance was awarded the prestigious Danish "Reumert" in 2003.

"Rare is the choreographer who can say a great deal with very little … an intense dance, intensely performed"

The Mirror is a performance about the human need to perceive oneself through journeys of mirrored reflections. Alone, with (one’s) recognisable and non-recognisable self-image projections, and with the risk of getting lost in this self-created hall of mirrors, it closes the eyes for a breath’s duration - in the hope of a sign.
