The Swedish choreographer Martin Forsberg is the latest revelation. In an era of irony, overstatement and unbelief he holds on to time, space and the function between the two. He refuses to acknowledge any separation of the moving body from the intellect and creates his choreographic work in the field of technical articulation, socially coded consciousness and theoretical conceptualism.
For dedonderdagen he is presenting a new dance performance set to music by Ryoji Ikeda and Henry Purcell, with the Danish dancer Maxim-Jo Beck McGosh, the Swedish dancers Marie Schulz, Ingrid Rosborg and Måns Boll and costume design by the Hungarian Richard Szedeleyi. He has taken the following as his basis: 'The dance unfolds restlessly, as full as fruit and as concrete as a tree. Three or four romantic images, a burst of indulgence towards the curve of pure movement. Let us lapse into true bliss.'
