Crowds & Power

Is it possible to choreograph reality? Can reality dictate the choreography?

Norrdans' ten dancers share the stage with ten locals. Together they form a unique ensemble that takes on the concepts of mass and power.

The crowd is a force in itself, with the ability to sustain and destroy. In Crowds & Power, Martin Forsberg creates a choreographic field stretched between the human mass and the actions that demonstrate the scales of power. Interpersonal and formulated through the largest and the smallest.

Crowds & Power features set and costume design by David Gehrt and newly composed music by Anna-Sóley Tryggvadóttir. The work is framed by lighting design by Mads Lindegaard. Crowds & Power is bombastic, monumental and sentimentally close.

Martin Forsberg is the artistic director of Norrdans and has previously choreographed works together with Norrdans that deal with communication and the staged authentic in works such as Doppelgänger and Proxy.
