In Damien Jalet’s new creation for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, life and dance hang by a delicate thread. But hope is strong. It sweeps over us like a natural force through movement and resistance.
The French-Belgian choreographer’s first work for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, Skid (2017), was an instant success when it had its world premiere in Gothenburg. Today it is in demand for guest performances worldwide. In this new work, Jalet largely collaborates with the same team: The set design is by New York artist Jim Hodges and the costume designer is Jean-Paul Lespagnard.
Damien Jalet is a multiple award-winning choreographer and dancer whose acclaimed works are characterised by a deep interplay between choreography, costume design, set design/art and music.
