Charlotte Engelkes continues her exploration of the opera world by Richard Wagner - playful, dead serious and totally bonkers. After the success with MISS VERY WAGNER and SIEGFRIED – THE VERY WAGNER HERO HOUR it’s time for LOHENGRIN DREAMS – a piece about standing up for your dreams. With three dancers, two acrobats and one opera singer, Engelkes presents her latest epic performance. LOHENGRIN DREAMS deals with the struggle between belief and doubt, fairytale and sink realism, wrapped in wondrous and quaint esthetics, to new written music and Wagner. Will the swanborne hero ever show up? And from where? Could popping the question rather connect us than separate us? Get the answers in LOHENGRIN DREAMS, Swedish premier 23-24 Nov 2019 in Norrlandsoperan Umeå, Dansens hus Stockholm (SE) 27-28 Nov 2019. Dancenet Sweden tour Feb 2020, German premiere at Radial System, Berlin 29 Feb and 1 March 2020.

SALVE REGINA is a co-production with Oslo Dance Ensemble, premiered at Dansens Hus, Oslo (NO) in 2017. Since then it has received great reviews from Norwegian and Swiss critics. «Beautiful», «sensitive», «elegant», «powerful», «humorous» and «exceptionally rich» are some of the words used by the critics to describe the performance. The title refers to the Maria hymn, which for hundreds of years has given hope and comfort for those who need it. An imaginative time travel through anchoring and agitation, power and impotence, feudalism and individualism again. And with a lot of humor too. Next year SALVE REGINA will continue on a large South America tour to Panama and Colombia in March.
In December, Jo Strømgren Kompani will also premiere their new children’s’ production THE TIRED MAN at Showbox festival in Oslo (NO). Take a look at the company’s website for a full list of available productions here.

ZOË POLUCH / HANAKOHOSHIMI-CAINES / ELISA HARKINS - RADIO III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ
|
|
photo: Kinga Michalska
|
|
RADIO III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ is presented 24 Nov 2019 at Left of Main in Vancouver (CA) by plastic orchid factory. RADIO III is the first collaboration between Hanako Hoshimi-Caines, Zoë Poluch and Elisa Harkins. It is an indigenous futuristic concert, a beautiful and uncomfortable dance performance and a perverse triangle of shifting power that seeks to be unfaithful to both minimalism and postmodern dance’s claims to so-called “neutrality”. As we live, layer and situate form in our bodies we hurtle through past, present and possible futures. You are invited into a supportive co-existence, separate but aligned, an anthem for xenophilia, a complicit dream, a consensual prophecy. The work opened at MAI in Montréal 3 June 2019.
