Welcome to Performing the Archives - a whole week at Dansens Hus where we review and reflect on the history of dance.

The German group Ligna presents an interactive performance where the audience can step onto the stage. Choreographers Rani Nair and Olga de Soto each perform a solo based on the work of legendary choreographer Kurt Jooss. Considered by many to be the most influential choreographer of the last century, he inspired and shaped Swedish choreographer Birgit Cullberg and taught greats such as Pina Bauch.
