Solaris

Cornerteateret

June 2026

Solaris is a poetic performance and educational campaign that through music, dance, and poetry shows children how to act in the sun.

Created for children of primary school age—and for curious adults. Solaris was initiated by the Melanom Foreningen as an artistic extension of the Solsikker campaign and developed in collaboration with Issa’s Dance Company with support from Kreftforeningen, Bristol Myers Squibb, Novartis & MSD
