Yared Tilahun Cederlund continues his investigation into the pulse, exploring the power it possesses. From the heartbeat that gives us life, to the feeling of a city pulsing - to the base of house music. Where do we end up if we follow the pulse, and what step do we need to take before we can take the next?

By tapping into the powerful force that happens when people synchronise with each other, and together can move mountains, build pyramids and create change, Yared Tilahun Cederlund has once again found the superpower that drives the pulse. 

In pulse At MDT 2024, Yared Tilahun Cederlund invited the audience to witness some of the most skilful and respected dancers from the Swedish street and freestyle scene: Yared Tilahun Cederlund, Maele Sabuni, Niki Tsappos, Alexander Dam Ida Holmlund and Nataşa Baykal. The artists took to the stage and explored pulse, beat, rhythm and tempo. 

Puls is a long-term project that will take shape in many versions and formats with different dancers. The project centres on the deep knowledge and skills of street and freestyle dancers and aims to work on their own terms. In parallel with the artistic work and the exploration of pulse as a theme, the project aims to highlight and make visible the talent, creativity and originality of the street dance / freestyle field, under the direction / choreography of a choreographer who is at home in the dancers' expressions and movement worlds. The PULS project had its first public meeting through "PULS pt.1" at the MDT during March 2024. PULS pt.2 is a brand new show and can be seen completely independently from pt.1.

Yared Tilahun Cederlund is currently with: PULS pt.1 (MDT) in spring 2024, FESTIVAL by Viktor Fröjd (Dansnät Sweden - spring 2024) and IT IS CONTAINED IN by Yared Tilahun Cederlund and Joanna Holewa Chrona (Riksteatern - Tour 2025) 

In co-production with Dansens Hus.
