Jo Strømgren kompani summer programme 2026:
A Dance Tribute to the Art of Football
Summer at the Oslo Opera House: Dance performances for the whole family!
Get ready to experience the football dance that has captivated audiences around the world! This summer, you can see condensed version of audience favourites A Dance Tribute to the Art of Football and Made in Oslo at a reduced ticket price.
Contemporary dance for football fans
Since its world premiere in 1997, the world’s first football dance has toured internationally to great acclaim. From 2 July to 2 August, you can experience it in a condensed 30-minute version.
The performance explores football as a phenomenon – its physical routines, violence, madness, aesthetics and humour. At the same time, it offers a political commentary on the artificial divide between sport and art, and takes a playful jab at the pride and prejudice surrounding working-class football and upper-class ballet. The production blurs all boundaries between the two disciplines, highlighting their shared entertainment value and diverse physical expression.

A complete and utter success. I’d see it again in a heartbeat.
