- We have to constantly rethink (rethink) when we dance depending on which wall it is so we always adapt what we do even if the choreography is basically the same, says Lucie Astier one of the dancers in Cie Retouramont.
This is the group's first performance in Sweden and with the help of ropes they occupied one of the walls at the Customs Chamber. Choreographer Fabrice Guillot says that he thinks it has been a pure pleasure to work with Norrlandsoperan, which is behind the festival and that both the technology and the administration flowed well.
- Then the owner of the building seems to think it was fun that we were here and we have had a good relationship with the audience, says Fabrice Guillot.
To reduce the risk, Norrlandsoperan chose to make the festival semi-digital. They also wanted to make it possible for as many people as possible to take part in it. According to the Norrland Opera, the need for new impressions and community has never been greater. The festival is an invitation to rethink and think new.
- It is now we have the chance to think about what is important to us on our only planet, the risk is great that we as a society and the individual end up back in old ruts, says Birgit Bernt, dance director in a press release.
