Nederlands Dans Theater 2 (NDT2) was named one of the world's most elegant and stringent dance companies by the New York Times. Keeping them at the forefront of contemporary dance is a mixture of equal parts technical brilliance and curiosity. NDT2 is now on its way to Stockholm with a triple bill performance featuring some of Europe's most exciting choreographers: Johan Inger, Alexander Ekman and the duo Paul Lightfoot and Sol León.

In Johan Inger's I New Then, the dancers explore their own artistic identities in a swirling and energetic cavalcade. The result is a colourful, upbeat and playful work set to music by Van Morrison.

Postscript by Paul Lightfoot and Sol León treats the audience to innovative and masterly partnership work of a trio and two duos. Not a wisp of hair is out of place in this dazzlingly beautiful dance, accompanied by a violinist and a pianist interpreting the music of Philip Glass.
