Cosmetic demons: a choreographic salon by Sindri Runudde

Welcome to face your inner demons in a choreographed hair salon.

Norrlandsoperan || 11 September 2024

65 minutes

Dance

Inner demons are awakened

In her latest work Cosmetic demons, Sindri Runudde invites real hairdressers and their customers on stage – for a transformative dance experience.

While the tufts of hair fall to the floor, the audience gets to experience an extravagant display of all the emotions and processes that are linked to our appearances and self-images.

The mirrors in this scenic auditorium are replaced by dancers who portray our inner demons. It’s time to look them in the eye and let them dance out into the light!

Dance mingle!
