MOZART'S REQUIEM, choreographed by award-winning Örjan Andersson, was performed for sold-out theatres in autumn 2019 earning praise from audiences and critics alike. This autumn the performance is back on Malmö Opera's (SE) beautiful stage.
Lingering on the steps of a world that is neither life nor death. On the threshold, deliberating the two conditions. Here Örjan Andersson has created a sensuous and rich work for Skånes Dansteater, Malmö Opera Chorus, and Malmö Opera Orchestra. Join them in one of music history’s most mythical and beloved works.
Örjan Andersson embraces Mozart’s monumental Requiem and lets dancers, singers, and musicians sweep you through darkness, joy, sorrow, and gratitude. Together with Bente Lykke Møller (scenography and costume) and others, he creates a dazzling dance experience, full of life.

MIRAGE is an emotional reflection on the imbalance of our nature and man's own inability to save it. Helena Franzén returns to her great source of inspiration, nature, the dancing bodies, and the rapture of nature and its inner life. But she also depicts the lurking catastrophe - climate change that threatens our entire existence.
It depicts our insecurity, powerlessness, and guilt when we try to take responsibility for our planet and approach nature in new ways. The performance digs into the feeling of lack of power and the question of whether our efforts really make a difference. On individual versus collective responsibility. The evening is an emotional journey through space, music, and choreography where you will explore on an emotional level your relationship with nature and the importance of taking responsibility for your own actions.
Premiere on 12 Oct 2023 at Dansens Hus Elverket, Stockholm (SE), with additional performances on 13 and 14 Oct 2023. More info and the full credits here. With the support of the Cultural Council, Stockholm City's cultural administration.

Ingenious maths, existential march, and nostalgic intensities are set in motion in choreographer Björn Säfsten's new work AND SO WE'RE GONE for four dancers at Elverket.
AND SO WE'RE GONE is partly based on repeated patterns of walking and partly an intense flickering of expressions creating an equilibristic choreography approached with humour, seriousness, and imagination. On stage, geometries, rituals, and everydayness are contrasted with situations like memories, or are they fantasies, intensities of a life lived and a life lost? Björn Säfsten continues to challenge the abstract and concrete at the heart of the movement in a work that wants to explore our sensible experience of time.
Plays at Dansens Hus Elverket 26-28 Oct 2023.
For the full credits list, additional information, and tickets - go here. Supported by The Swedish Arts Council, The Swedish Arts Grants Committee, and Stockholm Stad.

Virpi Pahkinen and her dancers journey into the hydrosphere, embodying transformations of water. Their movements may meander, as silent as snowfall, or roar and flow before settling in the secretly structured, still clarity of a snow crystal. The municipalities of Järfälla and Upplands Bro near Stockholm (SE) will be visited in October by the performance WIND VIGIL by Virpi Pahkinen Dance Company. "A purifying bath for the mind. A powerful artistic experience and an intuitive chemistry lesson combined." Eskilstuna Kuriren (SE) "Enchanted frost flowers. Virpi Pahkinen's "Vindvaka" is a swirling study in ice." Dagens Nyheter (SE)
Tour dates: 5 Oct 2023 Kulturhuset, Upplands Bro, 7 Oct 2023 Järfälla kulturscen, Jakobsberg.
The Swedish dance magazine Danstidningen has published an interview with Pahkinen about the show CHANGE - which was built from a kaleidoscopic and playful idea where five choreographies, musical scores, and light designs are interchangeable. CHANGE premiered at Stockholm City Theatre in spring 2023.Text by Margareta Sörenson and great photos by José Figueroa. Find out more in Danstidningen. "I often rehearse in silence, and when I timed the choreography parts, I realized that they are very precise and become equally long. That's when I had the idea to expose choreography to light and music randomly. Would it be totally confusing and impossible?" Virpi Pahkinen

Heilborn's comical piece inspired by Tolstoy's classic Anna Karenina 37 HOURS & 3 MINUTES is showing at Espoo theatre in Tapiola, Espoo (F) 6-7 Oct 2023. Read more here. "As with Tolstoy's narrative technique, Heilborn remains in constant contact with the source of her inspiration. But just like in a complexly constructed Tolstoy novel, this performance is completely impossible to encapsulate. It is, however, extremely funny." Cecilia Djurberg, Aftonbladet (SE) - The performance had its opening night only weeks before Russia began its unprovoked attack against Ukraine. We hope that it can now serve us in our important and difficult conversations about our relationship toward Russian culture, director Gunilla Heilborn says.
The solo MERKURIUS with Kristiina Viiala on stage is playing at 4+4 DAYS IN MOTION in Prague (CZ) on 14 Oct 2023. More info here. "Kristiina Viiala's excellent on-stage portrayal of the awkwardness and fragility of the seekers. It is hard to imagine a perfect expression of anxiety and compulsive fears relating to the past and present, characterized by the same degree of empathy as humor." Västerbottens-Kuriren (SE)

Viktor Fröjd is touring LOCUS with Riksteatern this fall 29 Sep – 11 Nov 2023, and FESTEN with Dancenet Sweden Spring 2024.
LOCUS is a place where people breathe, live, and change through movement and rhythm. On stage we see the three dancers Anton Borgström, Joanna Holewa Chrona, and Abigail Vrede who, like Viktor Fröjd, have a background in street dance. Together with the dancers on stage and the audience in the auditorium, video and light installations create a shared space in transformation. The newly written music moves between acoustic and electronic, between everyday and distorted where rhythm and resonance arise and change.
LOCUS is a collaboration between Scenkonst Sörmland and Riksteatern and the show will premiere in Eskilstuna on 29 Sep 2023. It will then go on tour with Riksteatern throughout the country in the fall of 2023. More info here.
Maybe FESTEN is the last resort where we can embody our longing beyond language and thought. A longing away from structure, symmetry, and the measurability that is demanded by modern life.Festen is the tribute to the human and the spiritual. To dance and to use the body to experience all the inherent possibilities in the human being, together as well as alone. Everyone who participates in Festen is also part of creating it.
FESTEN goes on tour in Spring 2024 with Dancenet Sweden. Supported by: Kulturrådet, Malmö Stad, Region Skåne, and Konstnärsnämnden. Full tour plan here. Read more here.

THE SOUL CATCHER is a seductive and deeply disturbing performance about psychological and physical abuse, manipulation, and power - in a powerful mix of performance, dance, spoken word, and electronic music.
Tourdates: 4 Oct 2023 Nordic Theatre Laboratory, Holstebro (DK), 19 Oct 2023 The Nordic House, Torshavn/Faroe Island (DK), 24 Oct 2023 Randers Theatre, Randers (DK), 28-29 Oct 2023 Tokalynga, Gunnarp (SE), 9-10 Nov 2023 Atalante, Göteborg (SE). "The performance is sharp and unsentimental. It is a mix of performance, dance, spoken words and seasoned with hard electronic music. The three actors do not compromise their expression but deliver a solid performance. The performance fully lives up to my high expectations, which over time I got to the creator of the work, Annika B. Lewis, and also got a great gift at the top of the hat, as the theme was both presented as autofiction and fantastically portrayed. Bravo for courage and artistic pondus.” – Kulturnyt (DK) THE SOUL CATCHER is produced by Kassandra Production in a co-production with theatre Bora Bora. Supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, The City of Aarhus, Knud Højgaards Fond, William Demant Fonden and DMF .

On 24 Sep 2023 NSP is performing In C at the NonStop International Theatre Festival in Moss, Norway. The world-renowned choreographer Sasha Waltz' latest piece had its world premiere in 2021, and this is the fifth location in Norway so far where Nagelhus Schia Productions is performing this popular piece. Sasha Waltz's colourful exploration of the world of minimal music is based on Terry Riley's revolutionary and open composition of the same name, and follows a similarly variable structure, leaving room for constantly changing variations.

In NET, a big net moves in and spreads in the theatre space. Guided by three dancers, we unfold the performance and a choreographic kaleidoscope emerges. Here, we get lost in an undulating landscape of 192 elastic squares, which, with dance as the motor, opens doors to new spaces to wedge our fantasies into. To catchy beats and melodic loops, we build a shared aesthetic experience together.
