Anna Öberg ^(SWE) Landscapes 23-25 April 2025

Programme

In a captivating and immersive work, choreographer Anna Öberg draws inspiration from couple dance as a phenomenon and pulse as a medium in the meeting between dancers Viktor Fröjd and Jon Bugge Mariussen, with backgrounds in house and folk dance respectively.

Central to Anna Öberg's work is a strong, improvised connection between music and movement, often manifested through live musicians on stage. ILandscapesÖberg invites his long-time collaborator sound designer Elize Arvefjord. Together, and based on the sounds generated by the dancers' movements in real time, they create a sound design that enhances, distorts and adds to what the dancers do. A sound design with clear influences from musique concrete, which, like tradering, both emphasises and distorts what lies behind the obvious.
