In a performance where humour and dancing meets science and in natural elements.

An Evening with Sara and Claire
A table and two chairs create a concert. Two leading ladies attempt a tango. Inspired by dadaist influences the musician and composer Sara Edin and Claire Parsons throw themselves into an evening of expressions and colours. After creating several critically acclaimed performances inspired by the 1920's Swedish Ballet in Paris, Russian constructivism and collaborative art, is An Evening with Sara and Claire an homage to the stage and artistic experimentation. Claire and Sara have collaborated since 2000 at guest appearances and festivals in Sweden, Finland,
Portugal, France, Japan and Russia.

Coming undone
With physicality, sensuousness and amazon playfulness, coming undone presents three amazons who have to battle with household objects and glamorous dreams in order to survive in a household landscape.
"As enjoyable to watch as it is sometimes giggly and sweetly silly. Using the prosaic elements of daily objects, the dancers astound us in their ability to cajole rambunctious, sensuous and generous physical musicality." Pia Huss Dagens Nyheter
