Dance work by Johan Inger. Dance work by Imre and Marne van Opstal

World premiere of two dance works. The show’s choreographers are from different generations but share a background as dancers at the prestigious Nederlands Dans Theater. They also share a curiosity about human nature.

Creation by Johan Inger

Johan Inger has created works for eminent dance companies worldwide. He has been artistic director of Cullbergbaletten and house choreographer at the Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT). His latest work in Gothenburg was the evocative Falter (2010), involving nine dancers and 64 ropes. He now presents a new work inspired by the dancers’ creativity and individual artistry.

Creation by Imre and Marne van Opstal

After both enjoying stellar dance careers, in recent years Imre and Marne van Opstal have gained increasing recognition as a dance duo with strong physical expression. With GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, they build a fascinating world governed by human instincts. How do we deal with shared pressures, and how do we rebuild ourselves after almost everything has been destroyed?
