Björn Säfsten's latest work LOST NIGHT opens at Atalante in Göteborg (SE) 20 Feb 2020. In LOST NIGHT three individuals gather in space. They form a choir whilst being three different individuals, three different voices. They are processing something. They try to sort out their impressions, actions and thoughts. How do you listen in a correct way and affirm the other? They try, with a common will and a gentle concern. The night is constantly present. Idea and choreography by Björn Säfsten in close collaboration with participating performers. A co-production with NorrlandsOperan and MDT with residencies at The Swedish Arts Council and Arbeitsplatz Wien. Tour dates spring 2020: 20-21 feb 2020 Atalante, Göteborg (SE), 27-28 Feb 2020 Inkonst, Malmö (SE), 6-7 May 2020 MDT, Stockholm (SE), 9 May 2020 Bærum Kulturhus, Bærum (NO).

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? LOHENGRIN DREAMS premiered at Norrlandsoperan Umeå (SE) 23-24 Nov 2019 and was shown in Dansens hus Stockholm (SE) 27-28 Nov 2019. In February 2020 awaits a tour with Dancenet Sweden and and after that the German premiere at Radial System, Berlin (DE) 29 Feb and 1 March 2020. |

Jo Strømgren Kompani premiered their second children’s production THE TIRED MAN during Showbox first week of December in Oslo (NO). Like the first one, the new piece fully engaged the young audience as well as grown-ups, easily associating to the morning routines of waking up. It also received great reviews and will go on tour in 2020.
"The structure of Strømgen’s work hits the comic nerve especially hard. It culminates in laughter as he runs the knitting needles into a socket, hoping that this self-induced electro-shock treatment will do the trick.”Periskop, Norway
The last weeks of December Jo Strømgren Kompani will continue working with their upcoming production THE BREAKDOWN, featuring actor Kate Pendry, known from the company winter guests, and dancer Vilde Viktoria Madsen. The world premiere will take place in January 2020 at the Norwegian Opera and Ballet. Take a look at the company’s website for a full list of available productions here.

Based on climate activist Greta Thunberg's speeches, Norrdans and choreographer Nicole Beutler takes a grip on the most burning issue of our time. The name of the performance is a direct quote from Thunberg's speech. OUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE is a phrase the young activist returns to. With Nicole Beutler's choreography, the bodies of the dancers will become speeches and manifestos that encourage the audience to act. - We do OUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE because it is absolutely necessary! Everyone needs to focus on this critical issue and the performing arts are an important reflection surface for conversations, says Martin Forsberg, Artistic Director of Norrdans. - We need to find a way to co-exist with nature and the way we live. If we work together we can make things happen. That message cannot be repeated enough. There is this quote by Patty Smith that says "people have the power". That is what I want to convey, says Nicole Beutler, choreographer. OUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE premieres at Härnösands Theater in Härnösand (SE) on 3 Oct 2020.
