Norwegian Premiere: February 26th, 2025
The Norwegian Opera and Ballet, Oslo
In Clas Göran, Strømgren has created a marvellous and durable character, a man whose supposed indolence masks a strange sense of heroism as he attempts to create strategies that will allow him to meet life’s little challenges.
Graham Watts, Gramilano.com
The performance’s foremost quality is the intense and precise interaction between the dancers. I thought several times that they perform the flowing formations with impressive precision and high tempo.
Norsk Shakespearetidsskrift
An exceptional experience in the form of the best of contemporary movement theater.
Tanecni Aktuality, Czech Republic

Don’t try this at home! Movements and expressions, action and tenderness, wild exaggerations and warmth.

A demonstration of creativity.
★★★★★☆Dagsavisen, Norway
The result is impressive ensemble work from four performers whose look of unforced, alert connection adds to the mystery and sadness.

Strømgren combines good taste, plastic intuition, and kinetic wisdom.
