Dance piece by Mari Carrasco. 40 minutes. On the small stage at the Royal Swedish Opera.

Who hasn’t felt alone at a party at some point, despite being among people? In the dance performance Forever, the audience is part of an ongoing party in the Opera’s Rotunda. During the performance they go from being observers from a distance to participants. The piece revolves around life and death, sorrow and hope, and being part of a continuous flow. How can one be an individual and part of a group at the same time? The show is primarily aimed at audiences in upper secondary school and high school.

Mari Carrasco is one of today’s most interesting and acclaimed choreographers. Together with her creative team – Mikael Karlsson, celebrated for several collaborations with the choreographer Alexander Ekman and most recently for the opera Melancholia; as well as Jenny Nordberg’s at naturalistic yet artificial scenography, and Mira Svanberg’s evocative lighting design – they create a performance entirely based on the venue.
