Henric de la Cour

Since being diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis as a child, de la Cour has been living with this illness – or even been the illness as he puts it himself. In this film we get a 4 year snapshot of the everyday existence of the man behind the lyrical concept of not only his own solo releases, but also Yvonne and Strip Music. While the medical treatments of CF have developed rapidly in the later decades one must keep in mind that when the very young de la Cour got his diagnosis the expected lifetime with this disease was approximately 15 years. Frössén presents an everyday life where this approximation continuously gets prolonged until finally, at the age of 40, Henric de la Cour is presented with some miracle cure that is to wipe the premature death sentence away altogether.

“Kite on Ice” is a visually and musically groundbreaking staging where the electronic duo Kite combines concert, ice show and performance art in a unique overall experience. In front of a sold-out Avicii Arena, an expressive meeting between electronic music, light design and synchronized figure skating was created – with the participation of world champions Helsinki Rockettes and guest artists such as Nina Persson, Henric de la Cour and Anna von Hausswolff. With their unique aesthetics and willingness to push the boundaries of the live format, Kite is an act that consistently seeks new expressions for their music. The result is gripping, magnificent and completely their own.
