This November, MADEIN the WEB is heading to Montréal for the CINARS Biennale, one of the world's leading meeting places for international performing arts professionals.
From 9–14 Nov 2026, we will be on site with a booth dedicated to our members, presenting their work and creating opportunities for new connections with presenters, festivals, venues and partners from around the world. Whether or not our members are traveling to Montréal themselves, we look forward to representing their artistic projects and keeping the conversation going across borders.
We will also take part in the Nordic programme, including Nordic Pulse on 10 Nov 2026 — a pitching and networking event highlighting contemporary performing arts from across the Nordic region. The programme is part of a wider Nordic collaboration strengthening international visibility and exchange.
For MADEIN, CINARS is above all about people: renewing relationships, making new discoveries and opening doors for the remarkable work created by our members.
Coming to CINARS? Let's meet in Montréal! We warmly invite you to visit our booth or arrange a meeting in advance. Just drop us a line at asa.edgren@locoworld.se – we'd love to connect!

Founded by cellist Mime Brinkmann, tenor Thomas Volle and circus director Tilde Björfors, the collective transforms Händel's music into a breathtaking physical experience, where acrobatics, juggling, music and humour intertwine.

The performance FULL takes on multiple dimensions, weaving together a zest for life, alcohol, and the darker shades of existence into a richly choreographed evening featuring performance artist Charlotte Engelkes and multidisciplinary artist and dancer Tobias Ulfvebrand. The duo comes together through text and music, alternating between newly written documentary-style songs, the romanticism of drinking, and the terrifying reign of spirits. Blending warm humor with seriousness, they share reflections on growing up, contemporary life, and philosophical questions about existence itself.
FULL presents a tangle of wild partying and sober gravity. It is bold, full of heart – and fun! Texts by Marina Steinmo and Charlotte Engelkes. For full credits and contact information, please read here. Tickets here.
Premiere: 19 Nov 2026 at Ö2scenkonst in Stockholm (SE), with additional performances on 20, 27, and 28 Nov 2026.
An Astarte production supported by the Swedish Arts Council, the Swedish Arts Grants Committee, Region Stockholm, and the City of Stockholm. FULL is a guest production presented at Ö2scenkonst Södermalm.

Núx is the ancient Greek word for night, while brúx derives from a root meaning teeth grinding. Together they form Núx brúx – a poetic description of nocturnal teeth grinding: a body that refuses to rest, a friction that continues through the darkness.
In Greek choreographer Chara Kotsali’s physical and sonic dance ritual, the night becomes a space of resistance, desire and longing. Together with Norrdans’ international ensemble, a carnivalesque world unfolds. Here, the night marks the beginning of a new day rather than the end of the previous one. The piece pays tribute to nocturnal interspecies alliances and the rebellious economies of the night.
NÚX BRÚX premiered at Härnösands Teater on 2 Oct 2026 and is now touring northern Sweden, with a stop in Stockholm on 31 Oct 2026.

THE SWAMP is an immersive performance about the Internet, which is having its Swedish premiere at Theatre Atalante in Gothenburg (SE) on 26–28 Nov 2026. The performance explores the darker side of the digital world, exposing the pitfalls of the Internet and the manipulation and violence that often remain hidden beneath the surface, 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. THE SWAMP is produced by Kassandra Production. Supported by the Danish Arts Foundation. Read more and book your ticket here.
“… an incredibly important performance and completely unique of its kind”
