Out Of Balanz

Inspired by his newly inherited gramophone, Ivan Hansen’s Posthumous Works is a meditation on life, death, and the inevitability of the unknown. Join Ivan as he takes us on a comic, compelling and life-affirming ride, peddling through childhood memories and the complexities of saying goodbye.

Out of Balanz is an award-winning, international ensemble based in Copenhagen. Recognised for their highly collaborative creative process and for producing original work and adaptations that are rich in spectacle and adventurous in form, the company’s approach is rooted in devising and ensemble practice. With an emphasis on rigorous experimentation, playful exploration and exchange, they seek to further the creation and understanding of artistic expression.

Posthumous Works previewed at the Birmingham European Festival 2010, where Ivan Handen won the Best Male Performer Award, and premiered at the Midlands Arts Centre in Birmingham in 2011. It subsequently toured to the Masca Festival in Bucharest, Forsøgsstationen in Copenhagen, and The Edinburgh International Fringe Festival.
