The airport shuts down in a pause, just like the corona wrapped our life in a sanitary napkin. Three men are left to themselves and each other in an empty waiting hall. This is the setting in Don Gnu's new show: Tourist. We are waiting at that airport, in our own way.

Anmeldelse Turist af Don Gnu

Mikolaj Karczewski panics, gift-wraped around his suitcase and flinging his tears down his nice suit. Kasper Buus flips open his backpacker tent, meditates and plays didgeridoo. The loveable badboy Petras Lisauskas drinks beer and gets sentimental.

And then they discover each other. They play together, they dance, they jump and fight. It is good entertainment from Jannik Elkær & Kristoffer Louis Andrup Pedersen. Fascinating slow motion and quick tango, the music of Alice Carreri. Sweaty men fighting and playing. The video background from Christoffer Brekne contributes to the comedy. It gets wild, so hot-tempered that the world collapses with a bang.

But it's not the end, of course it is not.

Life is the only thing we cannot end. We can close the airports, kill ourselves, detonate the atomic bombs. But life itself can never be extinguished.

So everything starts all over again. It is beautifully danced and eloquently thought out. Don Gnu never surrenders. Physical theater in the age we will name you-shall-not-touch me, once we have come to our senses and resume our movements as a tourist in the world in close attachment with each other.
