Mythical creatures, parkour and dance in public space

Animulius (NO)

Step into a magical world where the impossible suddenly seems possible. Animulius is an outdoor performance that combines contemporary dance and parkour to transform everyday places into a living fantasy universe.

In imaginative, animal-like costumes, the performers move through the space with jumps, climbing and acrobatics that almost defy gravity. Perhaps they hover above the ground, perhaps they leap higher than you thought possible.

The performance takes place in parks, playgrounds and other public spaces, where audiences get close to the action. Together, performers and audience create a shared experience in which children and adults can discover new sides of the place around them.

A world of imagination

Animulius invites children to think outside the box, explore the possibilities of the imagination and be swept into a world of mythical creatures and wonder.

The performance is made for children aged 3 and up and their families. It premiered at Dansens Hus in Oslo in September 2025.

The choreographer and artistic director is Antero Hein, a Finnish-Swedish artist based in Oslo who works at the intersection of dance, parkour and performing arts.
