KULT presents two of the leading artists in contemporary dance: The legendary Ohad Naharin and rising star Roy Assaf. World Premiere 9 Sep 2017. Runs until 15 Oct 2017.
Solely for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, Ohad Naharin has created a new version of his work, DECADANCE, called DECADANCE GOTHENBURG. DECADANCE is a work in constant flux; a kind of collage of Ohad Naharin's best work.
KULT begins with SACRE, a world premiere created by the multi-award winning Israeli choreographer Roy Assaf, to Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, played by the Göteborg Opera Orchestra. Stravinsky depicts a brutal ritual in which a young person is selected as a sacrifice, performing a dance to the death as the music reaches a crescendo. Assaf will bring new meaning to the music while the men and women of the dance company will take turns in the sacrifice.

Gunilla Heilborn’s new piece THE WONDERFUL AND THE ORDINARY is under production and will premiere at the Steirischer Herbst Festival, Graz, Austria, 29 Sep 2017. Watch a trailer here.
The piece is a coproduction with Theater im Bahnhof from Graz, and the Gunilla Heilborn Company. Three members from TIB, Monika Klengel, Pia Hierzegger, Lorenz Kabas and two performers from Sweden, Kristiina Viiala and Kenneth Bruun Carlsson dive into the complexity of remembering and forgetting. Our memory is the strangest thing; completely unreliable, constantly making up new stories. Yet it is still what defines us. Music composition, video and set is created by Kim Hiorthøy, Mårten Nilsson and Katarina Wiklund. Light design by Minna Tiikkainen.
The team will be in residence at Dansens hus, Stockholm (SE). At the end of the artistic process the whole team gathers in Graz in September. If you would like to attend any of the showings in Graz, or would like the full gig list, be sure to send a note to the company.

In our cities, on bronze horses, proud kings quietly stare above our heads. Their history and visual male dominance daily manifested, and passed on to the next generation. Where are the women and their stories? This was the starting point for CITY HORSES - a city choreography about power, existence and the female body in the public space, a gallop through cities, a living monument in constant motion, celebrating female courage and power of all ages.
The work CITY HORSES by Byström Källblad premiered at Dansens Hus in Stockholm (SE) 27 May 2017.

Tour Aug-Sep 2017:
26 Aug 2017 Tierp at Tierps torgfest (SE), 2 Sep 2017 Enköping at Trädgårdsdagen (SE), 8 Sep 2017 Copenhagen at Dansehallerne (DK), 9 Sep 2017 Uppsala at Uppsala Art Museum (SE)

This time DON and GNU throw themselves into the iconic universe of silent films from a time with specks of white dust on the screen and Charlie Chaplin on the loose - but can they manage to stay within the frame? A SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL is an intimate and entertaining performance, drawing you into a world of simple human conflicts, failures and power struggles on a micro-level, where it is impossible not to laugh at the clown within ourselves...

Where are you going? How do you relate to the person next to you? Marika Hedemyr's art explores emotional and political relationships between people and places. In her latest public works, she expands choreography and storytelling through new technology. A smartphone in your hand can open up new worlds and connections, and also create isolated bubbles and segmented societies. In NEXT TO YOU AT KORSVÄGEN, Hedemyr explores this paradox through an interactive walk where your choice of direction is crucial for the course of events. A private mixed-reality situation is created where the experience of the place and the passers-by is intensified. The work is created for and experienced at Korsvägen in Gothenburg (SE) 6 Sept - 19 Nov 2017. For information, opening hours and entrance to the walk, read more here.

Eva Ingemarsson´s new work MIRROR IN THE MIRROR will premiere at Atalante, Göteborg (SE) on 8 Sep 2017 and the performances run until 29 Sep 2017. Read more about dates and tickets here.
 
The piece is a free standing sequel to THE MIRROR - KAIROS (2013) and ZERKALO (2015) and it is the third and final part of the mirror trilogy. The mirror theme continues here, focusing on flashbacks and encounters with the past. The stage is composed of 16 big mirrors, aluminum pipes and bridges/paths for the audience. The audience wanders around in a great labyrinth among disseminated mirror lakes where the dancers are connected to their life lines. This piece can be viewed upon as a walk. It is a floating existence and subsistence, without fixed contours. Mirrors reflecting a world that is upside down. Images that are interpreting, scattering and ricocheting the environment.
