During the next year Jo Strømgren Kompani will premiere two brand new productions, The Virus and Coco.

Coco is the third coproduction with Ulrike Quade Company, featuring hyper-realistic puppets, intriguing walks between documentaric facts and provocative insinuations, and a great dash of wild imaginative theatre.
