Nørrebro Teater præsenterer Brimheim x MOTHER. Den første performancekoncert under formatet; Performed Concerts.

Performed Concerts inviterer publikum til at opleve, hvordan musik kan udfolde sig i nye former, når koncerten indtager teatersalen og skaber en overraskende og æstetisk fortællende musikoplevelse. Den første Performed Concert er et kunstnerisk møde mellem den anerkendte dansk-færøske musiker Brimheim og den Berlin-baserede tværæstetiske duo MOTHER.

I mødet mellem Brimheim og MOTHER fungerer performancekoncerten som en portal – en tærskel mellem to kunstneriske æraer. Et rituelt kongemord og et farvel til RATKING-universet, hvor figuren KING må dø, så noget sensuelt, magisk og intuitivt kan opstå.

Brimheims seneste album RATKING udforsker menneskelig dualitet, romantisk afhængighed og behovet for ekstern anerkendelse – skrevet fra perspektivet af en kvinde, der troede, hun kun kunne være hel gennem sin performance og sit publikum. I albummets anden del tager trangen til at afvise, ødelægge og brænde disse forestillinger ned over. På Nørrebro Teaters scene bliver koncerten et scenisk overgangsritual. Musikken gentænkes og transformeres i mødet med MOTHERs visuelle og performative univers, og gennem det scenekunstneriske univers skabt af MOTHER, vil Brimheim aldrig blive den samme igen.

OM KUNSTNERNE
Brimheim (f. 1990) er en dansk-færøsk sanger og komponist, som siden sin anmelderroste debut i 2020 har markeret sig som en af Danmarks mest visionære kunstnere og sangskrivere. I 2025 vandt hun Årets Album og Årets Producer ved prisen Den Uafhængige samt Årets Album og Årets Komponist ved Faroese Music Awards for hovedværket RATKING, som også var blandt de nominerede til Årets Album ved Danish Music Awards. Albummet placerede sig desuden i top 10 på den toneangivende amerikanske radiostation KEXP i seks uger.
I 2024 var hun på sin første europæiske og britiske turné, der blev efterfulgt af en skandinavisk turné med et stort finaleshow på Store Vega. I 2022 blev hun kåret som Årets Talent ved Carl Prisen. Singler som Literally Everything og Exquisite Bliss har været i høj radiorotation, herunder som P3’s Uundgåelige, og hun har spillet en række koncerter til 6-stjernede anmeldelser.

MOTHER er en dansk, Berlin-baseret tværæstetisk duo grundlagt i 2018 af Camilla Lønbirk (f. 1993) og Olivia Schrøder von Lüttichau (f. 1991). Duoen arbejder i krydsfeltet mellem set- og kostumedesign og har haft værker vist på blandt andet Schauspielhaus Wien, Münchner Kammerspiele, Theater Magdeburg og Aveny-T i København.

De to mødtes i 2014 under deres arbejde med den dansk-østrigske teatergruppe Signa. MOTHER arbejder med sceniske universer, hvor det visuelle ikke illustrerer musikken, men transformerer den – nu også i mødet med koncertformatet på Nørrebro Teaters scene.

OM PERFORMED CONCERTS
Performed Concerts søger at nedbryde de klassiske rammer for, hvordan kunst og kultur skal udkomme og opleves. På Nørrebro Teaters scene udforskes og udfordres den rytmiske koncert i mødet med en visuel kunstner – det værende en samtidskunstner, filmskaber eller designer – for at undersøge, hvad der sker, når den klassiske koncertform udfordres af et visuelt og scenekunstnerisk greb – udviklet specifikt til teatret.

ENG:
Nørrebro Teater presents Brimheim x MOTHER. The first performance concert in the new format Performed Concerts.

Performed Concerts invites audiences to experience how music can unfold in new forms, when the concert takes place at the theatre stage, creating a surprising and aesthetically driven, narrative musical experience.
The first edition in the series of Performed Concerts presents an artistic encounter between the acclaimed Danish-Faroese musician Brimheim and the Berlin-based, cross-aesthetic duo MOTHER.

In the encounter between Brimheim and MOTHER, the performance concert becomes a portal – a threshold between two artistic eras. A ritual regicide and a farewell to the RATKING universe, where the figure of KING must fall, allowing something sensual, magical and intuitive to emerge.

Brimheim’s latest album, RATKING, explores human duality, romantic dependency, and the need for external validation – told from the perspective of a woman who believed she could only be whole through her performance and her audience. In the second part of the album, the urge to reject, destroy and burn down these illusions takes over. On the stage of Nørrebro Teater, the concert becomes a performative rite of passage. The music is reimagined and transformed through the encounter with MOTHER’s visual and performative universe, and through the performative world created by MOTHER, Brimheim will never be the same again.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Brimheim (b. 1990) is a Danish-Faroese singer and composer who, since her critically acclaimed debut in 2020, has established herself as one of Denmark’s most visionary artists and songwriters. In 2025, she won Album of the Year and Producer of the Year at Den Uafhængige, as well as Album of the Year and Composer of the Year at the Faroese Music Awards for her major work RATKING, which was also nominated for Album of the Year at Danish Music Awards. The album additionally spent six weeks in the top 10 on the influential American radio station KEXP.

In 2024, she embarked on her first European and UK tour, followed by a Scandinavian tour that culminated in a major finale at Store Vega. In 2022, she was named Talent of the Year at Carl Prisen. Singles such as “Literally Everything” and “Exquisite Bliss” have received heavy radio rotation, including being featured as P3’s Uundgåelige, and she has performed a series of concerts that earned six-star reviews.

MOTHER is a Danish, Berlin-based cross-aesthetic duo established in 2018 by Camilla Lønbirk (b. 1993) and Olivia Schrøder von Lüttichau (b. 1991).

The duo works at the intersection of set and costume design and has presented works at, among others, Schauspielhaus Wien, Münchner Kammerspiele, Theater Magdeburg og Aveny-T in Copenhagen.

The two met in 2014 while working with the Danish-Austrian theatre company Signa. MOTHER creates performative universes, where the visual elements do not illustrate the music, but transforms it – now also in their encounter with the concert format on the stage of Nørrebro Teater.

ABOUT PERFORMED CONCERTS
Performed Concerts seeks to break down the traditional boundaries of how art and culture are presented and experienced. On the stage of Nørrebro Teater, the rhythmic concert is explored and challenged through encounters with a visual artist – whether a contemporary artist, filmmaker, or designer – to investigate what happens when the traditional concert format is transformed through a visual and performative approach developed specifically for the theatre.
