RHYTHMANIA takes place in the field of tension between imposed limitations and repeated attempts by exploring the genre-specific relation to beat and rhythm that can be seen in both folk dance and folk music. A performance where dance and music are constantly challenging each other, all the time on the edge, all the time close to losing balance.

RHYTHMANIA manifests the start of a new series of works, i.e RHYTHMANIA (2017/2019), SYNK (2018) and SOLITUDE (2019) which all, in different ways, explores somatic perception and kinesthetic transference through beat, rhythm and groove. 

Premiere April 25 2017, The Theatre of Dalarna (Dalateatern), Falun, Sweden.

New premiere and touring through Sweden’s National Touring Theatre (Riksteatern) spring 2019
