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. It becomes a journey that challenges the conventional separation between dancers and the audience.

“I am very romantic about dance. I love it, I think it is important. I think it will save us from many things.” – Renan Martins

Infused with a vibrant pulse that echoes through the space, creating an immersive experience where every heartbeat and movement is interconnected. Because there’s nothing stronger than the binding of life and how heat and blood keep the pace of our collective desire for freedom, touch, and attentive justice. The blurred line that links individual and collective. This rhythmic energy transforms the dance floor into a democratic space, where the roles of performer and spectator blur, fostering a sense of unity and shared experience. The audience is not merely a passive observer but an integral part of the performance, contributing to a collective energy that fuels the dance. This dance piece is not just a performance but a living, breathing entity that evolves with the input and presence of each participant. Here, the dance floor becomes a microcosm of society, where diverse voices and movements converge to create a unified and dynamic whole.

This work speaks to the power of collective action and artistic expression as tools for social engagement and transformation, which are familiar topics for Renan Martins.
