ANDERSSON DANCE AND SCOTTISH ENSEMBLE
 - On tour with PRELUDE - SKYDIVING FROM A DREAM

 
photo: Louise Mahler

Fusing music and movement, musicians and dancers, PRELUDE - SKYDIVING FROM A DREAM is the second collaboration between contemporary dance company Andersson Dance (SE) and pioneering string orchestra Scottish Ensemble (UK). Combining astute, inquisitive choreography with razor-sharp live musical performance, PRELUDE - SKYDIVING FROM A DREAM takes three rich pieces of music that push at the boundaries and restrictions of artistic expression and creates something entirely new – a dark, pulsating playground of ideas teeming with the paradoxes grooved into the edges and corners of the human subconscious. Featuring preludes from Lutoslawski's Preludes and Fugue for 13 Solo Strings and excerpts from J.S.Bach's The Art of Fugue, the production builds to the climactic performance of Beethoven's Grosse Fugue. Scottish Ensemble musicians are pushed to the limits of creative expression as performers as they are choreographed alongside three dancers, creating a palette of sight and sound that gleams with the grotesque and the glittering, the rational and the absurd.

Tour in Sweden in March 2019:
19 March 2019 Dansstationen, Malmö, 20 March 2019 Kungsbacka Teater, Kungsbacka, 22-23 March 2019 Dansens Hus, Stockholm, 25 March 2019 Vara Konserthus, 27 March 2019 Västerås Konserthus.

"You leave feeling as if you have gorged on the very stuff of life. Chaos, calm, disharmony, beauty, fear, connection, isolation – it's all here, conveyed through music, movement or both." The Scotsman

Using documentary collected texts as well as complete fiction, our two guides K and L will take us through facts, images and stagings with the help of a choir commenting the outline in the way a Classical Greek choir would do. MONUMENT is a coproduction with Turteatern (SE) and part 3 in The Memory Theatre trilogy.
