ABOUT:

The multi-award-winning, New York–based choreographer Faye Driscoll has been described as a wild, idiosyncratic postmodern talent. She is now creating her first collaboration with Cullberg — a contemporary dance performance for all senses, featuring fifteen dancers
The performers exist in a state of “separate-togetherness,” navigating a porous boundary between individual agency and collective emergence. The group vibrates into scenes, dissolves into masses, collides in and out of coherence, riding waves of force that rupture stillness into collapse, an ecstatic overcoming.

The architecture reveals itself in layers – soft, hard, sunken, protruding – inviting a destabilized reading of depth, time, and gravity. As the body rides and is ridden by force, we ask: how does a body metabolize the uncontainable?

About Cullberg

Cullberg is committed to radical and engaging contemporary dance, bringing choreographers from small ensembles and contexts to large stages and wider audiences.

As one of Sweden’s most well-known international dance companies we present choreographers from all over the world and produce high quality contemporary dance. We bring international choreographers to Sweden and dance made in Sweden to the world.

Cullberg will always aspire to take roads less travelled in our pursuit of new ways to present contemporary dance. By daring to remain in the unknown we aim to challenge, expand and get lost in the possibilities of dance.

As of July 1, 2022 Cullberg is led by artistic director Kristine Slettevold. The company consists of 17 dancers, co-creators in the artistic process with the intention and interest to develop the works continuously. Cullberg is part of the Swedish National Touring Theatre, Riksteatern
