Clinch / Toujours de 3/4 face!

Two dance acts with violence and masculinity as a common denominator. First out is a duet that takes us into the arenas of martial arts. The evening ends with a solo that evokes both laughter and unease, sometimes at the same time.

Testosterone overload deluxe

In a time where fights are allowed to be entertainment and toxic masculinity is portrayed as heroic, a double bill is presented that challenges the violent popular culture we are constantly fed with.

Clinch

In the duet Clinch , Àngel Duran wrestles with the macho culture’s virile behavior and repression of emotions. The name of the show refers to the moment when two boxers hug and thus lock each other until the referee separates them.

Toujours de 3/4 face!

The following piece, Toujours de 3/4 face!, is delivered by Loraine Dambermont, who reveals her best secret self-defense techniques. To karate king Johnny Cadillac’s cocky voice, we are treated to a “live tutorial” that attracts both laughter and uneasiness.

We’re treating you to coffee and pastries!

Norrlandsoperan is currently procuring a new restaurateur who will take care of the intermission service at our concerts and performances. We are really looking forward to being able to present who will be our new restaurateur at Norrlandsoperan. While waiting for this to be completed, we will start the year by offering coffee (coffee/tea and cake) during the months of January and February, when you visit Norrlandsoperan’s performances.

A warm welcome!
