Strange creatures have taken over Ásmundarsalur and welcome you to the planet Venus.

A dance show that brings you into a dream reality where patriarchy never existed. Step into the utopia with a pink Venus drink in your hand and enjoy.

The dance show Venus is a colorful and visual journey where the creators Anna Guðrún and Bjartey attempt to reset the female body. They challenge the male gaze by accepting objectification, deconstructing it and creating an animalistic creature out of the woman. The absurdity of objectification is exposed and becomes laughable. It is bent, stretched, turned upside down and exaggerated. The boundaries between artificiality and authenticity are blurred, as well as beauty and ugliness. The feminine, the mechanical, the masculine and the animalistic.

August 14th - 16th 2025, after closing of Ásmundarsalur, dancers will take over the museum and transform it into a live dance performance. The audience is invited to step into the world of Venus and meet the performers in an experience where all your senses are activated. The show is approximately 2 hours long and during that time the audience will travel with the performers between rooms in Ásmundarsalur. Guests are offered a drink from Eldblóm, which is included in the ticket price. Please note that the space is not wheelchair accessible.
