Love Songs’ World Premiere revolves around a cinema noir universe - after the party and into the early hours - when the night turns into dawn. It is last call for a dance and a song. The room exudes sensuality and the dancers are longing for love, with everything it implies - like joy, pain, anticipation and disappointment.
The music is composed of cherished jazz classics from the good old days. Originally sung by Ella, Louis, Billie and Sarah, and now reinterpreted by Denmark¤s great jazz artist Caroline Henderson.
