New ballet from Jo Strømgren

What kind of mark does the past leave on us? The Norwegian National Ballet explores possible answers in a newly created dance performance by one of Norway’s greatest choreographers.

In a timeless scene populated by the National Ballet dancers, Jo Strømgren shows how the thoughts and actions of the past leave their mark on us. This is his expression of the unrest of our times: conveyed through pure dance, and with a changing world as a backdrop. 

A new full-length ballet production from Strømgren is rare. This is one opportunity that should not be missed!  

To the core  

Jo Strømgren is the Norwegian National Ballet’s in-house choreographer, with the entire world as his workplace. His performances have been enjoyed by audiences in over 70 countries. His work is often full of theatre, made-up languages, dance and humour, but this performance returns to the core of his work, namely dancing.    

Modern ballet in typical Strømgren style is always a journey into associations and life’s greatest mysteries big and small, accompanied by references to both everyday life and world history. 

Strømgren says he has found himself in a small dilemma this time Read the interview
