This November, an exciting new production will premiere at Dansens Hus in Stockholm. BLACK RAINBOW is the latest work from Virpi Pahkinen and it builds on her most recent creations, adding in a new mythology that will leave the viewer spellbound. BLACK RAINBOW will tour Sweden in the Spring of 2021, visiting 9 cities. The six dancers, amongst them Virpi herself, will meet the audience in the shapeshifting forms of yogis describing a barefoot meditation in thin air, space nomads on point shoes and a supremely graceful and vicious superspider. Composer Jonas Sjöblom will be live on stage, creating hypnotic beats. World Premiere 18 Nov 2020 at Dansens Hus, Stockholm (SE) with performances 19 and 21 Nov 2020 as well.
Choreographer Virpi Pahkinen is well known for her stunningly chiseled shapes and almost otherworldly moves that act like an incantation – creating a mysterious, meditative atmosphere. Pahkinen's work has been performed in 140 cities in over 48 countries on all the continents of the world.

In 2021, CIRCUS DAYS AND NIGHTS will have its world premiere. A new opera by Philip Glass with libretto by David Henry Hwang and Tilde Björfors, based on a collection of poems by Robert Lax. CIRCUS DAYS AND NIGHTS will perform in Malmö, Stockholm, Hong Kong and venues in England, Norway, France and USA. An entirely new work meets an entirely new form: CIRCUS DAYS AND NIGHTS is a circus opera in three acts, written by legendary composer Philip Glass. Its inspiration is Robert Lax’s masterwork CIRCUS DAYS AND NIGHTS, a collection of poems that draws us into the poet’s fascination with acrobats and the circus lifestyle and takes us on the road with him when he “runs away” and joins a circus in 1940s America. For Lax, the circus becomes a metaphor for life itself – the cycle of life and death –and for human yearning and striving. CIRCUS DAYS AND NIGHTS will be a boundary-crossing performance that brings the circus ring into the opera house. Hear Philip, Tilde and David talk about CIRCUS DAYS AND NIGHT here.

Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt presents SEVEN DUETS. With a starting point in Edvard Munch's image "Harpy" and his own alleged intimacy anxiety, Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt brings alienation and longing to life in a way that the viewer can identify with. The dance is realized in a format of duets that opposes any seamless interaction and explores a fragmented and partially repetitive movement in the meeting points between human beings. A first time collaboration with award winning fashion designer Michael Olestad. Choreographer is Ingun Bjørnsgaard. The premiere will be at Scenehuset, Oslo (NO) 26 Nov 2020. Also showing 27 Nov 2020. More info here. Find out more about Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt at madeintheweb.com

Norrdans' first community project ÖM.TÅLIG is premiering 7 Nov 2020 at Kramfors teater (SE). During the autumn eight amateur dancers have been led by choreographer Maria Ulriksson to explore what it’s like to be a man from sparsely populated areas in the north of Sweden. The search, with dance as a tool, has ended up in a performance where the audience is invited to experience what the group of men has found. Among gentle hands, pulse, breathing and patterns, a new masculinity emerges. One where fragility becomes a strength, and where muscles become a way to dance. One that is not afraid of closeness, the dance and the intimacy that vibrates behind the sternum. Tour dates: 7 Nov 2020 Kramfors teater (SE), 9 Nov 2020 Fyren, Härnösand (SE), 10 Nov 2020 Hullsta Gård, Sollefteå (SE). More info here. Read more about Norrdans at madeintheweb.com
