- A post-show artist talk directly after the performance on March 20 will be held in English and interpreted into Swedish Sign Language. The performance itself contains no spoken dialogue so will not be sign language interpreted. However, interpreters will be on hand before the performance on March 20
- Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th Attempting Alchemy is offered as a “Relaxed performance”, a concept welcoming anyone who prefers or needs a more flexible and relaxed performance experience.
Sign Language interpretation and “Relaxed performance” are a part of the project Europe Beyond Access co-financed by the Creative Europe program of the European Union.
About the show
A new dance performance by choreographer Ludvig Daae about the dream of creating magic out of the mundane, turning dust into gold.
Medieval alchemy, the dream of making gold, may be the most utopian of all sciences. Alchemy pushes the boundaries of science and finds a home in the world of imagination. For Norwegian choreographer Ludvig Daae, this dream of transforming everyday experiences into something different and elevated is a central part of creating art.
In his new dance performance Attempting Alchemy, Ludvig Daae searches for utopia. He wants to transform ordinary movements, themes and objects into beauty, magic and gold.
In Attempting Alchemy, four dancing bodies move through the space in formations, like a changing kaleidoscope. Chasing fleeting moments where it feels like the stars are aligned. Invites you to keep faith in the inherent power of people to reach new heights together.
