Cullberg + The City Theatre = true!

Cullberg gets a new main stage in Stockholm at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern. The three-year collaboration begins with a world premiere by choreographer Renan Martins on March 6, 2025 in Hörsalen.

- I am very happy about this collaboration, says Kristine Slettevold, Cullberg's artistic director. This enables us to present our repertoire with greater regularity and with longer playing periods in Stockholm, which feels fantastic. Now even more people can experience dance and I am really curious about what the collaboration during these three years can bring.

Guerrilla

Cullberg works for the very first time with Brazilian choreographer and dancer Renan Martins. In this new immersive dance performance, he collaborates with Olof Dreijer, Swedish DJ, musician and founding member of the electronic pop group The Knife. Together, they create a journey that challenges the conventional separation between dancers and the audience.

Exposure

Exposure is an affective study of the nude, by the Swiss / Greek choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis in collaboration with Cullberg. As a choreographer and visual artist Alexandra Bachzetsis has frequently examined the choreographic strategies of the body and how culture provides source material for our gestures, expressions and commodification of fantasy.

While in battle I'm free never free to rest

Cullberg presents a meeting between 14 of Cullberg’s own dancers and 10 external dancers from the street dance community, by the choreographer Hooman Sharifi. They influence eachother and their different backgrounds flavour the performance in various ways. The music by Neda Sanai is based on deconstructed Iranian folk songs.

Sylph

Sylph is a dance performance that takes inspiration from the 1909 ballet Les Sylphides by Michel Fokine, which is considered the first ballet based entirely on mood and dance with no real narrative. Sylph dabbles in the occult as well, merges it with classical ballet and explores ASMR sounds that generate a sensorial experience, a sort of a low intensive euphoria that creates a secret bond between dancer and audience.
