Royal Swedish Ballet 
“Honoring our past while nourishing the future” – The Royal Swedish Ballet, one of 
the oldest ballet companies in the world, has a strong foundation in the classical ballet 
repertoire as well as capacity and curiosity in contemporary dance. 
The Royal Swedish Opera was founded in 1773 by His Majesty Gustav III as a national 
stage for Ballet and Opera. In recent years the ballet has made guest appearances in 
France, Greece, Switzerland, China and Spain as well as touring within Sweden.
With a repertoire including ballets by some of the world’s most renowned choreographers 
the Royal Swedish Ballet actively commissions works, by amongst others Swedish 
choreographers such as Mats Ek, Örjan Andersson, Johan Inger and Alexander Ekman.
As part of our 240-year celebration in 2013, Mats Ek will create a new full length piece 
for the Royal Swedish Ballet. His own interpretation of Romeo and Juliet is performed to 
a new score arranged on music by Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky.

Ruby Rose 
/Rebecca Westholm

its face.”

Eat it! is a fabulous circus and performance, a show filled with humour as well as 
seriousness about our own twisted views of our bodies. You might call it “a food disorder 
circus show”. Integrating video, a blog and a performance this piece does not end with 
the fall of the curtain. It begins. Premieres January 18, 2013 at Turteatern, Stockholm.

Sarah Riedel
“Swedish Grammy-nominated vocalist Sarah Riedel has quickly established herself as an 
accomplished performer of lyrical jazz with indie-pop sensibilities.” All About Jazz
Vocalist/Composer Sarah Riedel has received much attention over tha last couple of years 
for her personal compositional style and delicate, intimate vocal delivery. Sarah’s singing 
is lyrical and she handles text with a minute care for detail. When Sarah sings, there are 
no barriers between music, lyrics and the audience.
Sarah leads and writes for several bands among which Sarah Riedel Timeline can be 
heard in New York during the APAP Conference in January 2013. In this band Sarah 
brings together a string quartet and a jazz trio to form a sound that is warm – at once 
youthful and timeless. Audience and critics have given her unified praise and the 
reception has also been very favorable internationally; she has toured Japan, USA and 
Europe performing at for example the Institute Suèdois in Paris, the Kennedy Center and 
Kids Euro Festival in Washington, D.C.

Sebastian Lingserius 
Sebastian Lingserius is a young upcoming choreographer based in Stockholm, known for 
his sincere interest in linking philosophical concepts and bodily practices. He finished 
an MA in choreography at the University College of Dance in Stockholm in 2010. 
The piece alt. org, created in 2011 at MDT in Stockholm, presents a set of practices 
that all attempt to re-imagine bodily construction. It’s a dance towards the inorganic. 
It’s a place where decomposed bodies collide and new bodily organizations occur. The 
audience walks around in a gallery space surrounded by hanging illustrations. A slow 
transformation to a performance space, where bodies can practice, dance, and give 
examples. 
The press: “a philosophical work which cleverly twists the concept of evolution and the 
perception of nature and man.”

Shake it Collaborations
Shake it Collaborations is an artist driven constellation dedicated to acting, dancing, 
doing, shaping, sharing and shaking. Shake it Collaborations consists of Dag Andersson 
and Tove Sahlin. They occasionally work together, in an artist couple power unit, or as 
individual performers and creators – with loads of passion and experience.
Roses & Beans – a performance about the private, the political and the pop aspects of 
love. The performers invite you to a private party in an empty living room with twinkling 
eyes, sharp elbows and soft hearts. Together we share a very special moment and a 
sweetened cake of romance. Can we produce other stories, since we don’t want to live the 
ones we heard before? 
The performance has been touring internationally since the premiere in June 2010. It is 
an easy set up in foyers, galleries, classrooms, conference halls, museums, livening rooms 
and clubs. It can be performed outside if circumstances are good. For outdoors a special 
technical set up is needed.
