Vifria
Vifria is a circus and dance company based in Stockholm that focuses on 
interdisciplinary meetings. Vifria’s artistic leader is Malin Stattin in collaboration with 
circus performers and dancers etc. Vifria has since 2008 produced and toured five 
performances of different character; Quartet Notariebacken 17b, site specific piece 
Telgeness, duet Blåställ, duet Hello! and most recently the library show Kanon. Vifria 
tours for all ages.
Buddy – a homemade animalistic post punk circus popping with a twist and tail. Buddy 
is a duet with Malin Stattin and a robot. In focus are different relationships between the 
two of them. The robot was constructed in collaboration between a choreographer, an 
artist and an engineer and has an organic but not human shape; it does not have arms, 
legs etc. The idea springs from the link between object manipulation, choreography and 
body. How an object can be interpreted to have an own spirit or will depending on context 
and how you relate to it.

Voces Nordicae
The vocal ensemble Voces Nordicae consists of 16 singers and the Danish conductur 
Lone Larsen, who founded the ensemble in 1999. Looking for a new and radical 
approach to the choral scene the ensemble draws the most experienced singers from 
different musical backgrounds who share the will to expand and renew the Swedish 
choral tradition.
By collaborating with Jörgen Krantz, actor in improvisational theater, Voces Nordicae 
has expanded the perception towards musical and physical impulses, and has learned 
to react to the unexpected on stage. This work inspired to the creation of the latest 
performance, Without Recipe, a fusion of choral singing and improvisational theater. With 
this performance Voces Nordicae has found new ways of involving and communicating 
with the audience. 
Voces Nordicae was named Choir of the year in 2008 by Rikskonserter.
