Is the story about a pair of twin-brothers. One is the conductor of the world-famous orchestra “Sweet Seven Magic Orchestra”. His twin brother… well, he disappeared when the brothers were small. One day when the twins were going on a journey with their parents, one of the brothers boarded the wrong ship, never to be seen again. All he left behind him was his little guitarino.

When the brothers were small they were very ill. They coughed and caughed for five month. While they were sick they spent the time writing a lovely piece of music together. The score is on the back of a photo of the two brothers together. This morning while the conductor was having a cup of coffee in a caf? he was suddenly inspired to write a solo concert for trumpet in memory of his dear lost brother. He wrote it on a simple serviette. Perhaps we’ll get to hear it? Enjoy!

BATIDA

A vibrant and colourful ensemble of musical actors. From the very outset The Batida Theatre Company has hung on to its principle of integrating live music and movement in its shows on equal footing with text and design. All music is performed live, it’s visible, and often staged and used in much the same way as choreography is in dance: as a form of expression in its own right.

Batida has developed its very own unique interacting theatrical style, and has over time created a wide range of shows, addressing all age groups – adults included. The shows are performed at Batida’s own theatre – a converted factory building in Copenhagen – as well as on tour in Denmark or anywhere in the world where they may find an audience. Batida has toured in 46 different countries.
