Skatepark Mette Ingvartsen
Play TrailerSkateboarding – the sport, the art, the lifestyle
Skateboarding has become a peculiar choreography. Legend has it skateboarding was born when low waves forced surfers onto the Los Angeles asphalt, where they glided through the streets conquering every new obstacle.
Together with a group of skaters and dancers, Mette Ingvartsen explores the speed and energy of movement on wheels; a passion from her youth.
Skatepark marks the emergence of a community defined by persistence and hard work. They try, fall, and push the limits of what’s possible.
As you enter the auditorium, look out for a prelude where the local skate community showcase their skills on the ramp.

DE STANDAARD
Balances, foot coordinations, jumps, repetition – magic unfolds when two synchronize in rolling. The action is visibly joyful and occasional stumbling or falling is simply part of it.
