Choreography

Free entry but a ticket is required.

KOREOGRAFIN is an interactive performance entirely based on audience participation. By following instructions in headphones, it is the audience that creates KOREOGRAFIN together. With imaginary hamsters, confetti, and bold movements, it examines how the way we move can influence what we think and feel.

KOREOGRAFIN is available in 19 languages. Each person chooses which language they wish to listen to. In other words, people who do not speak a word of the same language can participate in the same performance and meet on equal terms. Since its premiere in 2016, KOREOGRAFIN has been performed over 700 times worldwide. The performance was selected for Ice hot and Young Swedstage 2022, as well as for Bibu 2018 with the motivation:

“Here we as an audience get the chance to switch roles. Instead of being observers, we become co-creators. With the choreographers as guides in the headphones, we are invited to participate with ourselves as tools, in a welcoming space where we quickly understand that we cannot do wrong, but where all our movements become right.

We discover that our morning routines actually consist of choreographies. We move together, we create shared worlds. It is a performance or an experience, but it is also a physical experience, an exploration of what movement is and what the body can tell. This is interactive performing art that makes us happy, that inspires, and that allows everyone involved to momentarily be co-creators of something that feels significant in the small.”

“What do I have to do to do this again? I will do anything!”

“With the initial assurance that ’everything is right in choreography,’ the steady foundation is created necessary to dare to explore both inner conflicts and fields of tension, but also the sparkling joy and community that arise during the act's half hour.”

- Sara Meidel, Västerbottenskuriren 2017

“A wonderful community-building experience across generational and language barriers. Deeply touching.”

- Johanna Salander, artistic director of Västerbottensteatern
