Thought-provoking dance theatre about identity

Jo Strømgren is back with a performance packed with feminine power.

During a lunch break, four women sneak up into an attic, where the friction between them sets in motion a chain of conflicts. Unrequited love, hope and lost dreams bubble to the surface, revealing a grey zone of banalities and existential questions.

Friction between people in a confined space is a timeless conundrum that has afflicted us since we began living in caves. Perhaps we are still grappling with the same problems? In many cases, the psychological aspect is more important than the situation in question and we can quickly lose sight of what is trivial and what is existential.

On stage, we see   Henriette Hamli, Anna Benedicte Andresen, Nora Svendsgård og Angela Dematté, four dancers with strong personalities. The plot of The Loft turns in unexpected ways and depicts life in a nutshell – for women in particular and people in general.

About Jo Strømgren Hide Show more

Jo Strømgren has distinguished himself both nationally and internationally as a choreographer, director, set designer, playwright and former dancer. Since 2013, he has been associated with the Norwegian National Ballet as the choreographer in residence, while at the same time working with his own company, the Jo Strømgren Kompani (JSK).  

JSK has toured in over 60 countries with its uniquely characteristic combination of dance and theatre, combining distinct and often highly physical humour with darker, political undertones.
