Oslofjorden Danser - Gamle Oslo - Premiere

The audience favourite is back!

On 13 and 14 June, we once again have the pleasure of presenting the unique walking performance The Oslofjord dances – a journey through Old Oslo.

The journey starts in Grønland, moves through the district and ends in Bjørvika. On the roads, the audience divides into two groups, where one descends in rowing boats from Akerselva Trebåtforening and the other is guided further through the route on foot. During the walk, the stage is set for many beautiful, strong and interesting moments of dance art that show the district’s different qualities, connections and contrasts.

The backbone of Oslofjorden Danser is the solo work performed by the dancers in the talent development program TILT Grow – combined with the meeting with local performers and actors. Together, they get the opportunity to create unique and evocative experiences, far beyond the edge of the stage. The dancers work out their solos in collaboration with selected, trendsetting choreographers.

The Oslo Fjord is dancing – a whole new way to experience the city and nature.

Performances
Saturday 13 June at 12:00, 14:30 and 17:00
Sunday 14 June at 12:00, 14:30 and 17:00

NB: Limited seats – the performances sell out quickly!

The walking performance through Old Oslo is part of the initiative Oslofjorden danser – a series of walking performances where dance is at the center. The goal is to stage the Oslo Fjord and at the same time focus on a rich diversity of expressions, urban spaces and nature experiences.

Said about the performance:

“[The walk] may not have changed my life, but it has given me a lot of new things, both a sense of joy, sorrow and anger, but not fear.”
– Audience members living in the district of Gamle Oslo, 2022

“The artistic elements were not only impressive and strong, but culturally critical. What is art? And for whom? These were very strong artistic expressions. As an audience member, you became awake in a different way than inside a traditional theater hall. With this project, Panta Rei has created art in new ways and with the entire district as a stage.”
– Lars Høgset, audience member and wooden boat enthusiast, 2021

“Grønland, Vaterland and Bjørvika need more presence of art in public spaces. The not-so-established art scene with Panta Rei at the forefront adds something new to the cityscape that everyone can take part in.”
– General Manager of Akerselva Wooden Boat Association Aslak Juel Kristensen, 2021

«Heilskapen i Panta Rei Danseteater si vandreførestilling Oslofjorden danser gjorde den til ein av dei beste scenekunstopplevingane eg hadde i år.»
– Anmelder Berit Einemo Frøysland i Norsk Shakespeartidsskrift valgte Oslofjorden danser til Årets forestilling i 2021.
