Following a highly successful world premiere with sold-out performances at The Norwegian Opera & Ballet in June, Damien Jalet’s THRICE will tour to Kalamata International Dance Festival and ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival on 23, 28, and 30 July 2025, respectively. The Norwegian audiences can experience THRICE again at Bærum Kulturhus on 24 and 25 Sept 2025.
The production marks a new chapter in the collaboration between Damien Jalet and Nagelhus Schia Productions (NSP), following their critically acclaimed 2020 project DUELS at the Vigeland Museum in Oslo. That performance was later adapted into a film by director Jonas Åkerlund, which is currently being screened at film festivals around the world.
This piece, like its name suggests, is a triptych. The number three is an important one, both in the work of Damien Jalet and in the references he cites, from Greek tragedy to Japanese theatre, mathematics to religion; past, present, and future, body, mind, and soul; matter, time, and space.

CALLING WE ARE HERE will be performed at Uppsala Culture Night on 13 Sep 2025 at the Uppsala Art Museum (SE). CALLING WE ARE HERE celebrates the power that, in the shadows, has taken girls and women through challenges throughout history and continues to do so every day. An open-air dance, a vocal performance proposing a new kind of feminist folk dance, expressing experiences shared across countries rather than a national identity. A greeting from today, of solidarity, to future generations. It sweeps across the town square, infiltrates, dominates, and invites you in. The performed vocals draw from the tradition of female vocalization, "kulning," dating back to the Middle Ages and once practiced by women in the borderlands of Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Read more and watch a trailer here.

Mein lieber Schwan! Now it´s happening! Wagnerians, vegetarians, and other music lovers!
Wagner’s masterpiece about the mythical knight Lohengrin is his most lyrical and romantic opera. Directed by the internationally renowned performance artist and Wagner enthusiast Charlotte Engelkes, it becomes a fairy tale in both dream and reality, exploring the themes of good and evil, faith and doubt.
Engelkes has created a multitude of inimitable performances connected to Wagner’s opera world - read more here. LOHENGRIN at Malmö Opera is the first time she directs a Wagner opera in its entirety. “Wagner, for me, has always been a source of playfulness in a divine musical world, where relationships unfold within ourselves to develop us sensually and spiritually,” says Engelkes.
The premiere takes place on 26 Oct 2025, on Malmö Opera’s main stage. Book your ticket here.

Dance Theatre Minimi's artistic director and choreographer, Taneli Törmä, is inspired by human connection, touch, and relationships. ORANGE is a dance performance created for everyone, especially for children aged 4 to 9 and the adults in their lives.
The project draws inspiration from Reidar Särestöniemi's 1967 painting, Kielto ja Kaipaus. In the painting, two bears are seen embracing in an orange field. It's a playful and caring image – the orange color can symbolize shared connection, understanding, and respect for one another.
The work began during the Silence Residency in the village of Kaukonen (FI) in August 2024, and will premiere at the Särestöniemi Museum in Kaukonen on 1 Aug 2025. The performance is part of the Reidar100 anniversary program. Read more here. Do you need more information? Contact Oona Pappila, sales, marketing, and information officer, here.
