Protocol and the repetition of identical elements fascinate Danish, not just with politicians. Mirroring colleagues or superiors in a political setting has long been the custom. Not only in politics – from schools choosing uniforms to signal ‘we are one’ to Trump supporters turning up at his trials sporting blue suits and extra long red ties.

The Van Gogh/Kiefer connection was established in 1963 when a very earnest and rather nerdy bespectacled eighteen-year-old Kiefer received an award in the form of a travel grant which he chose to use retracing the steps of Van Gogh through Belgium to Paris and on to the South of France.

We are lead to believe that one way or another, the end of the world is nigh – but then history shows it always has been.
RIDCC has rapidly grown to become an internationally celebrated dance event. It offers several prizes, the most prestigious of which is the RIDCC XL Production award of €100,000, the biggest and most prestigious of its type in the world, to be spent on a new and original piece for Scapino.
