Holding on and letting go, pretending and daring. A world premiere by Italian choreographer Aristide Rontini. Sprinkled by a series of floating curtains, the theater stage in MAY FALL reveals a world where all elements and bodies appear and disappear. The dancers move in a mysterious, suspended atmosphere, with different relationships and narrative lines running parallel.
The flow of dance fragments offered by the hypnotic movements of curtains invites the audience to shift perspectives on pleasure, curiosity, and imagination. Sharp, loose, and everyday life moves intertwine to create a series of different circumstances evoking the human desires to live, to be loved in return, and the possible friction generated by resisting them. Choreography by Aristide Rontini (IT) in collaboration with the dancers
MAY FALL is a part of the project Europe Beyond Access co-financed by the Creative Europe program of the European Union. World premiere 30 Jan 2026 at Skånes Dansteater in Malmö (SE).

Nagelhus Schia Productions has always been rooted in the present – and in the future. The company is now returning to its historical work for the first time. Not out of nostalgia, but to understand their own roots. Modern dance in Norway stands on the shoulders of pioneers such as choreographer Kjersti Kramm Engebrigtsen. By bringing FIGURES IN A LANDSCAPE back into focus, we acknowledge the artistic foundations that have made today’s practices possible.
FIGURES IN A LANDSCAPE (1985) was created at a time when dance in Norway was opening up and discovering new forms of expression. Nagelhus Schia Productions now brings the work back to the stage – in the very same room where the world premiere took place at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter more than forty years ago. When the company´s dancers enter this material, history is given a new body. This is work that seeks to understand where we come from – while also lifting our gaze toward what lies ahead. To create something true and alive today, we must listen to what came before us. In collaboration with Danseinformasjonen, Nagelhus Schia Productions will host a panel discussion exploring questions such as “What has changed, and what remains?”

Starting on 19 Feb 2026, Folkoperan in Stockholm (SE) will be transformed into the venue for Antonio Vivaldi's baroque opera THE OLYMPIAD. The director is Charlotte Engelkes, the musical director is Peter Spišský, and the set and lighting design is by the Folkoperan's new artistic director, Linus Fellbom, with costume design by Anna Ardelius. The choreographer is Sofia Södergård.
In THE OLYMPIAD, athletes and artistic souls meet in a vibrant, sporty, and intricate drama of confusion - colored by big politics, sensual confusion, and friendships that are put to the test. At the center is the prince of Crete, Licida - a charming, but untrained rookie in both love and sports. To win the heart of Princess Aristea, he must enter the match of his life. He therefore persuades his well-trained friend Megacle to compete in his place, with consequences that neither of them could have foreseen… Read more here.
- THE OLYMPIAD is not just languishing love, lust, and complicated relationships with a lot of humor. It is also about friendship. How much is it worth – and what are you prepared to sacrifice for a true friend? says Charlotte Engelkes.

THE SWAMP is an immersive performance about the Internet that re-premieres at Dansekapellet in Copenhagen (DK) on 13-18 April 2026.
THE SWAMP is a performance about the pitfalls of the Internet, and the manipulation and violence that goes on under the radar on the dark Internet. You are invited into an alluring, mysterious, and wildly growing swamp. On the way, you lose your sense of direction and must therefore take responsibility for the way forward through the swamp. But who decides the rules of the game? And is it even a game, or is it the harsh reality? With and by performance artists: Annika B. Lewis and Helene Kvint. Kassandra Production produces THE SWAMP volume 2 in a collaboration with Dansekapellet and theatre FÅR302. Supported by the Danish Arts Foundation.

In KNOCKING, Horácio Macuacua lets rhythm become body: a language of muscles, sweat, and breath. It speaks before we have words and moves us before we understand. It is both gravity and release, weight and play.
Norrdans’ ensemble is thrown into this current, carried by its relentless force, falling, rising, breathing in the same tempo. Here, rhythm becomes a universal alphabet. It brings us together into one body, one space, one now. Rhythm is not merely simple accompaniment, but a language of its own.
KNOCKING will have its world premiere on Friday, 6 Mar 2026 at Härnösands Teater (SE), followed by a tour in Sweden and a stop in Trondheim (NO). More info at norrdans.se.

Gunilla Heilborn and her team are currently (12- 23 Feb 2026) at a residency at BUDA Kunstencentrum in Belgium, working on the two parts of the new piece WORKS AND DAYS. Drawing on the stories of ancient poets and a recent trip to Greece, Heilborn tries to see whether it is possible to link one event to another, or whether perhaps it's the lack of logic that characterizes everything we do. She makes lists of ships that have sailed the seas and of what has been done or should have been done. The essence of the work is its chaotic structure, but a number of elements recur in both parts: the journey and what we remember of our experience. As well as the question of whether it is possible to know what should be done on which days and why.
On stage: Gunilla Heilborn, Sophie Augot, and Ludvig Daae. The room, the light, and the music play an important role in the piece and are made by Heilborn's long-time collaborators Katarina Wiklund, Minna Tiikkainen, and Kim Hiorthøy.Tour dates: 27-28 Feb 2026 Norrlandsoperan, Umeå (SE), 3 Mar 2026 Sara Kulturhus, Skellefteå (SE), 7,11-14 Mar 2026 Dansens Hus, Stockholm (SE), 18 Mar 2026 Dansstationen Palladium, Malmö (SE)
