Programme

Cullberg / Ligia Lewis

Some Thing Folk

28.–30.8.

 

Age recommendation: 12 years

Duration 1 h 15 min

Cullberg collaborates with Ligia Lewis for the first time. “Some Thing Folk” imagines a utopian sense of belonging beyond national borders. Inspired by “Hard to Be a God”, Lewis uses dance to explore alienation and imagination.

In this piece, the renowned company Cullberg is collaborating with choreographer Ligia Lewis for the first time. Lewis often deals with power relations and discusses how they influence the body as well as how the body resists them. In “Some Thing Folk” she establishes a new, utopian vision of belonging that turns away from the notion of nationhood and expands the concept of national identity. Aleksei German’s film adaption of the science fiction novel “Hard to Be a God” serves as her visual inspiration. Alienation and distancing become tools to allow our thoughts to wander, and dance becomes a means to unfold our imagination.
