Note! Recommended from age 13. Little concert features strobe lights, loud noises and stage smoke. The smoke is harmless to breathe. The audience stands up during the performance.

In Mari Carrasco's chaotic and captivating work Little Concert we see four dancers forming a raucous garage band. It's wild and elegant, depressed and passionate. On stage, they are not only dancers but also rock stars: a garage band surrounded by the audience, which is in turn surrounded by the music.

Choreographer Mari Carrasco creates energetic and eerie worlds, always in close proximity to the music. Now she is back at Dansens Hus, this time with the GöteborgsOperans Danskompani and a work aimed at children and young people aged 13 and up. The music is created by composer Mikael Karlsson, who also wrote the music for the Göteborg Opera's and Alexander Ekman's dance work HammerKarlsson has worked closely with Carrasco for several years and has previously created the music for several of her works, including Burn baby burn, THE HEART, REMIND ME I'M NOT DEAD and Witches.
