WEB is a virtual nest, a floating spider web, an animated platform, or the climbing net in your backyard. Together with Anja Arnquist and Madeleine Lindh you are invited to weave choreography out of the nets. In a poetic landscape, we suspend our thoughts from the ceiling, dance on imaginary paths, bead variegated ribbons from our bodies and let everyday life move into the theatre space and go up in smoke.
Since 2009, Madeleine and Anja have worked closely together under several umbrellas in the Swedish dance scene. With the performance WEB, they build on their ten-year collaboration and invite the scenographer... Johannes Fäst, the composer William Rickman and lighting designer Tobias Hallgren, to weave an artistic hybrid juggling the formats of installation, dance performance and aestheticised playground.
