OKNO

Come and explore the nooks and crannies of the small room. You can observe memories and a wide range of unspoken emotions in a chilling Nordic setting through the window. It is an associative sequence of dance images that are freely and lightly connected by songs, text fragments in performers’ maternity languages, and simple situations. The chamber artform inspired by the theatre’s intimate stage prod one into fantasizing. The best strategy is to let it impress and gradually discover how the shared emotions unlock us. Norwegian choreographer Jo Strømgren, respected in large ballet houses and small alternative stages, is well known in Ostrava for his Memories of Mahler. He is one of the "export items" of contemporary Norwegian art.

ABOUT PERFORMANCE

Come and explore the nooks and crannies of the small room. You can observe memories and a wide range of unspoken emotions in a chilling Nordic setting through the window. It is an associative sequence of dance images that are freely and lightly connected by songs, text fragments in performers’ maternity languages, and simple situations. The chamber artform inspired by the theatre’s intimate stage prod one into fantasizing. The best strategy is to let it impress and gradually discover how the shared emotions unlock us.


Norwegian choreographer Jo Strømgren, respected in large ballet houses and small alternative stages, is well known in Ostrava for his Memories of Mahler. He is one of the "export items" of contemporary Norwegian art. Besides ballet, Jo is genius in writing plays and film scripts and directing drama; he is a specialist in Ibsen, by the way. However, the strength of Strømgren's choreographic handwriting is strongly linked to the identity of the North and lies in his ability to tell a story. To tell a story magically, entertainingly, but also movingly and ironically, with imagination and punctuated wit. This is where Strømgren excels as a choreographer of contemporary dance. Humour and a grotesque vision of the world is not very common in this genre. However, it is impossible to imagine his dance theatre without irony, exaggeration or parody.
