MY DEER HUNTER
My Deer Hunter is a performance about how your life can change in an instant. How an experience out of your control can affect you and transform you.
Duration: 90 min
Inspired by the film Deer hunter, Fix&Foxy invites four veterans to go back in time and encounter themselves and who they once were. They revisit the life-changing moments in an attempt to recreate their lives. The life they lived before it fell apart. We watch them struggle with their shame and lack of confidence while they fight their way back into the world.

★★★★★ “Tue Biering’s My Deer Hunter is sublime civic theatre.” Jyllands-Posten
★★★★★ “My Deer Hunter is not victimisation or smothering sentimentality, but perhaps the most unpretentious, dignified and important theatre this year.” Kristeligt Dagblad
THE COMPANY : FIX&FOXY
Fix&Foxy has produced work for little more than a decade – theatre, performance art, social interaction, immersive installations etc. Their work is driven by curiosity and a desire to create complex narratives through playful, entertaining, and easily accessible formats while challenging our – presumptions and misconceptions about ourselves and the world we live in. By sharing stories about people who make up society and address the times we live in, Fix&Foxy wants to engage with the world.
Like us at CPH STAGE, they believe that performing arts play a vital role in society and can make a difference.
