OKNO/THE CELLO

Norwegian Premiere: February 26th, 2025

THE SUBSTITUTE

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.

THE BASEMENT

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.

THE LOFT
