Pantomimteatern Pantomimteatern creates beautifully crafted shows which rise to the challenge of young people’s imaginations. We believe that theatre for young people should have the same high standards as theatre for adults and we’re committed to developing mime as an art form. In 2002 Pantomimteatern was awarded the Swedish Theatre Critics’ Association award for the Best Children’s and Youth Theatre. The stage adaption of Charlie Chaplin’s silent classic The Kid from 1921 allowed Pantominteatern to make use of both classic and innovative theatrical techniques. In creating the world of “Charlie” Pantominteatern uses mime, half-masks, an original musical score, film projections and a set design full of imaginative solutions and props. In 2011 The Kid received the price of the best mime play of the year at Stockholm Mime festival.

Philippe Blanchard Philippe Blanchard has created both independent and commissioned performances at the forefront of Swedish contemporary dance for the past fifteen years, his works developing into installation-like studies of human behavior and relationships. Suggesting rather than telling, Blanchard’s finely layered pieces address the creative potential of each viewer by making room for interpretation, uncertainty and wonder while consistently providing subtle details to rely on. His latest production How About You? focuses on the search for oneself in the other. Performed by two identical twins, the piece unfolds as a journey through images of intimacy, rejection, celebration, and loss. The next creation – a new collaboration with the team behind How About You? – will explore the subject of appearances and the elusive aspects of identity. How About You? is touring throughout the 2013 season, while the new production is expected to premiere in the autumn.

To create an emotional climate through an immersive aesthetic whole is important for my creative process.” (Pontus Lidberg) Hailed by the Swedish press early in his career as “one of our greatest choreographic talents”, and with over 30 successful creations for institutions such as the Beijing Dance Theatre, Le Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, the Royal Danish Ballet in Copenhagen and the Royal Swedish Ballet in Stockholm, he has now proved them right. Pontus Lidberg works with a narrative form of dance theatre. He often involves contemporary music and his collaborations with composer David Lang have been especially acclaimed. Pontus Lidberg is also a prominent film director. In 2013 a major collaboration between his own company Pontus Lidberg Dance and NorrlandsOperan will premiere his version of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring.

Poste Restante Poste Restante makes interactive performances where the visitor’s individual experience and active participation is the focal point. The works consists of honest yet unexpected constructed activities, e.g. a daytime shelter for melancholic or an institution that provides secular rooms for religious introspection. In the pieces, visitors work personally with the performers to consider challenging life questions and to face double moral standards. The activities aim to create acceptance as opposed to solutions. Poste Restante’s pieces are made site- and situation specific, approaching new contexts. There is no off and on stage, and every new space is selected according to the demands of the constructed activity at hand. Recent works include The Dinner Club at the Salzburger Festspiele and at the Zomer van Antwerpen (2011), The Economy of Pleasure at MDT, Stockholm (2012), and Closing Time – One Last Call, at Stora Teatern, Gothenburg (2012).

They invest in a long-term research within interdisciplinary art, deeply rooted in the interaction between theory and practice, together with artists and researchers. Engaged in philosophical questions regarding power relations and body, they seek to generate thought and subjectivity through a radical experience of the body and imagery. Their latest performance Beauty of accident challenges the following questions: What happens to the body when dealing with a 500 m rope? How can movement originate from the object? How to return to the object its subjectivity, once lost in order for it to become an object and serve a logical use? How can the object be redefined? What is an object? What type of forces do these bodies evoke? How can perception be provoked or affected through the manipulation of the object? Will premiere 2013 at Inkonst in Malmö, Sweden. Available for touring.
