Gone 

Gone explores the relationship between melancholy and nostalgia – where one ends and the other begins – as well as the aggression and denial one must pass through along the way. 

Gone was originally created for Oslo Danse Ensemble (ODE), one of Norway’s most popular dance companies for more than three decades. Jo Strømgren was the choreographer who collaborated with them most frequently, creating eight works for the company during its lifetime from 1994 to 2018.
