Two-Stroke + Garage - a Visual Duet

- A visual double act by Stina Nyberg, Ingela Ihrman, and Dansväxthuset.

During the festival Dance in the November Darkness , Skellefteå Art Hall and the D ance & Ballet Association invite you to a unique program featuring contemporary art, performing arts, and young local dancers. 60 minutes to open your mind to.

What is Tvåtakt?
Tvåtakt is a duet in two acts by and with Ingela Ihrman and Stina Nyberg, previously shown at Hägerstensåsen's community center in Stockholm and Folkessons Lada on Öland. The performance navigates the space between performance, sculpture, and dance, where the starting point is the absurd and poetic metaphors that arise when two bodies interact. The work focuses on rhythms and cares – manifested through costumes for two by Ingela Ihrman.

14.00: Tvåtakt - Guest performance by Ingela Ihrman and Stina Nyberg (approx. 40 min).
