The common history of the Nordic countries goes back more than a thousand years. There have been periods of both friendship and war, but what colonial heritage and responsibilities do we northerners carry with us?KOLONISTERNA is an interactive dance performance that directs a critical eye at our mutual history, which many prefer to forget, and at the colonial structures that prevail today. Embedded in a satirical atmosphere, the audience witnesses and participates in a study of power and the abuse of power. THE COLONISTS is a cascade of choreography, voice, and musical interplay in an interactive context where 5 dancers occupy and conquer the stage. Read more here.

A seamless, cinematic blend of movement, projection, film, subdued light, drone, and deafening lamentation. Polyphonic compositions and deep delving into the pleasantly unpleasant. In MY OWN FUKASE, a fate-saturated collage, we encounter a seamless, cinematic mix of movement, projections, film, subdued light, drone, and deafening lamentation. Humans are fascinated by the grotesque; we massage bruises even though it hurts. We are disgusted by the smell of decay and at the same time attracted to it – why is that?
This interdisciplinary work is a collaboration between choreographer Maria Naidu, composer Kent Olofsson, visual designer Tomas Romlöv and lighting designer Imre Zsibrik. With financial support from the Swedish Arts Council, Region Skåne, Malmö cultural support, and Dancenet Sweden as well as work residence through Rum för Dans Halland, Inter Arts Center, Dans i Blekinge and Inkonst.
Performance dates: 25-26 Nov 2022, Inkonst, Malmö (SE).For more information and tickets go here.

THE CHOREOGRAPHY will play at PURPLE International Dance Festival for young audiences in Berlin (DE). The interactive performance will play at Jugendtheaterwerkstatt Spandau on 18-19 Jan 2023. Read more here.
THE CHOREOGRAPHY is a performance-based entirely on the audience’s participation. All participants receive a pair of headphones, and a guiding voice gives them instructions on how to move, how to relate to one’s body, and how to relate to one another. In other words, there are no dancers in the performance. Instead, the members of the audience create THE CHOREOGRAPHY together. The target group is from about 10 years and up.
THE CHOREOGRAPHY will also show at Teater Tr3 performing arts festival in Stockholm on 19 Nov 2022. More info and tickets here.

Norrdans is currently touring three different venturous performances. The strong piece CAVE is the European debut of critically acclaimed choreographer Rena Butler. Here you can find the company surrounded by a mix of existential horror and Plato's allegory of the cave. It is watching yourself reflected in an amplified form, conveyed through physical and strong dance as a story about prejudice and preconceived notions, about decolonization and new knowledge.
Norrdans are also performing THE RITE OF SPRING through the lens of the artistic director Martin Forsberg. The grand tones of composer Stravinsky manifested through a small and explosive ensemble, in the purest rebellious playfulness. This piece finds its way through both schools and public venues in the north of Sweden and in Stockholm. The good news is that THE RITE OF SPRING is coming back in the spring of 2024. Keep your eyes open!
Last but not least you will get a new chance to experience Ioannis Mandafounis IF ONLY I KNEW. The piece once again attempts to storm libraries in the most silent possible way with full force. This time Norrdans will also explore other public places and institutions. You can see IF ONLY I KNEW at Kulturmagasinet in Sundsvall (SE) on 30 Nov 2022 and on tour in May of 2023.

Gunilla Heilborn just premiered her new piece MERKURIUS at Norrlandsoperan in Umeå (SE) on 11-12 Nov 2022. This week the piece is also presented at MDT in Stockholm (SE) with performances from 17-20 Nov 2022.
The wonderfully distant planet Mercury is said to affect our communication, our intelligence, our technology, and our social interactions. In addition, Mercury has an extra gig as the messenger of the gods and as such has the task of delivering both good and bad news. This solo show with Kristiina Viiala on stage addresses all these aspects, as well as the desire of some people to move into space. Read an interview with Gunilla Heilborn here (in Swedish).
"Man's awkwardness and fragile search are portrayed on stage by a brilliant Kristiina Viiala. It is difficult to imagine closer to a complete success in portraying this anxiety and creeping concern about both the past and the present in an empathetic and at the same time humorous way." Västerbottens-Kuriren (SE)

YES is a cascade of pleasure, sadness, and dreams of possibilities. Morphing through a constant of what has been and what is. YES insists on fiction as a compass in the imagining of where we want to be. Working with water's transformative powers and the storm's revolutionary potential. Yes yes yes. This could be something. YES is soft, YES is dense, YES is tension and release, YES is too much and not enough.
YES is BamBam Frost's second work, following her debut with SORRY in 2018. We call it a solo with a star guest.
Performance dates: 8-9 Dec 2022, Elverket, Dansens Hus, Stockholm (SE). For more info and tickets go here.
Supported by Swedish Arts Council, The Swedish Arts Grants Committee, City of Stockholm and Life Long Burning – Towards a sustainable Eco-System for Contemporary Dance in Europe project (2018-2022) supported by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.

Co-production between Säfsten Produktion and Riksteatern. More info here.
