Scenatet

With roots in score music and a deep connection to the performing arts, Scenatet operates within an interdisciplinary field where staging and reality intersect. Established in 2008, the ensemble is recognised as one of Europe’s most innovative and sound-driven collectives. Under the artistic direction of founder Anna Berit Asp Christensen, Scenatet strives to disrupt habits and traditions, creating immersive experiences that confront and engage audiences in novel ways. Their approach is genre-breaking, characterised by a dramaturgical mindset that prioritises the explorative creative process.

The ensemble’s portfolio includes original productions and site-specific commissions, placing a strong emphasis on symbiosis and cross-field collaboration. This dedication has culminated in extensive partnerships with distinctive composers and choreographers worldwide. Among their three Dacapo Records releases is the critically acclaimed 2016 release of Niels Rønsholdt’s surreal song cycle Me Quitte, which the Danish newspaper Information praised: ‘Me Quitte contains a rare beauty (...) It pierces our conception, and it leaves us both cleansed and perplexed.’
