PROGRAM — LARGE AUDITORIUM

15:00-16:30 — Before the Last Curtain Falls

The film dives deeply into the exceptional and heart-warming stories of a group of transsexuals and drag queens in their sixties and seventies who summon up their bravery to take to the stage once again – perhaps for the last time. Belgium’s preeminent choreographer Alain Platel and “wizard” stage director Frank Van Laecke collaborate to turn the cast member’s lives into movement.

17:00-18:45 — A Swan Lake

“I wanted to do something big and wild and different. Something with water!” said choreographer Alexander Ekman and filled the Main Stage at the Oslo Opera House with 5,000 litres of water. In A Swan Lake, his new full-length work created for the Norwegian National Ballet, the dancers are joined on stage by actors, a soprano, musicians and 1,000 rubber ducks.
Alexander Ekman is an award-winning choreographer, whose work is internationally acclaimed for its inventiveness, musicality and humour. With a score by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson and costumes by Danish fashion designer Henrik Vibskov, A Swan Lake takes a fresh and witty look at Tchaikovsky‘s ballet of all ballets.

“A spectacular show that transcends boundaries.” Aftenposten, 2014
“… it is easy to be both amused and seduced by this mischievous swan dive.” Dagbladet, 2014
