LAURA PERROT

What happens to us when everyone around us is logged into their own universe? Be right back explores the experience of being physically close to someone who is still far away.

Maren

MAREN GRØNSTAD “ALT

Choreographer Ingrid Berger Myhre and dancer Maren Grønstad have looked at the pleasurable aspects of dance. What does it mean to work from excess? The choreography has an open structure to give Maren inspiration and access to a range of possible dances as a starting point for further play.

Ian

IAN YVES ANCHETA “The Bug Boy”

Bug Boy is an expression used to describe an apprentice jockey. The play is about about a horse racing gambler who compares his attraction to women with his addiction to horse gambling. The work takes its inspiration from the song “Por una cabeza”, composed by the famous tango singer Carlos Gardel to lyrics by Alfredo Le Pera.
Choreographer Proietto chooses one of the most famous tango songs of all time to illustrate the manic and hysterical peculiarities of the local harbour people Porteñosi in Buenos Aires, the hometown of tango. The stage is set for a playful and nostalgic glimpse into the past.

GARD HJERTAAS BJØRNSON “Title C”

Our actions have consequences, but what happens if we consider the alternatives before we carry out an action?

Will it change the consequences?

Vilja

VILJA TJEMSLAND KWASNY “Synthesis”

Synthesis is a choreography set to music by Jonathan Nielssen. Choreographer Isabel Vila draws inspiration directly from the music. For her, the chosen song represents life itself – a mixture of unexpected sounds and beautiful melodies. The choreography also plays with the idea of a more conscious approach to what is happening around us. The awareness of our relationship to others, and to ourselves.

Clarice

CLARICE EKPEREDINMA OKEKE (on leave) “Blooming”

Nothing in life is static and there are different phases in life. Nature is always changing, it has cycles and seasons. Life arises, grows, grows and fades away.This solo is a tribute to life and to the power of the female body.

Sofia

SOFIA FARRAH “Fragments and a memory I do not own”

Choreographer Mohamed Toukabri and dancer Sofia Farrah have together explored “encounters”. Interpersonal meetings and encounters between as artists with different backgrounds, cultures and experiences. Can we better understand what it means to be human through the poetic and abstract in both dance and text? How can society create intimate spaces? How can we express intimacy and the need to be close? Can we admit shame and fear of not being seen, heard and touched? Fragments and a Memory I Do Not Own uses both text and movement to ask and process these questions.
