The history of the Royal Swedish Ballet began in 1773, when King Gustav III founded the Royal Swedish Opera. This makes it one of the world’s oldest ballet companies. As early as 1790 the Stockholm-based company had 65 members. The ambition of the king himself and of his French ballet master Louis Gallodier was to create a Swedish counterpart to Louis XIV’s court ballet in France. Today it is the country’s largest ballet company, consisting of 68 dancers. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Johannes Öhman, the company maintains and builds on its long tradition by performing new classic and modern works and by preserving its historical heritage.

Exposition and the Body Choreography by Örjan Andersson Choreographer Örjan Andersson is one of Sweden’s biggest names in contemporary dance, acclaimed for such works as Arrival of the Queen of Sheba for the Cullberg Ballet and Seven Clues at Skånes Dansteater. When he began creating Exposition and the Body, Andersson drew inspiration from the knowledge and movements of dancers. He based his work on their way of moving, their style and aesthetic: “I have a strong belief in the artistic process, which is also about the dancers’ own creativity and integrity. Every encounter with a dancer is unique.”

Choreography by Crystal Pite Crystal Pite is a Canadian choreographer who, among other things, is the founder and Artistic Director of the dance company Kidd Pivot. The Other You, which mixes both classic and modern expressions, is a duet for two men who interpret an encounter between the “self” and its inner image. According to Pite, the piece portrays a man in a dialogue with his double, his own shadow.

Choreography by Johan Inger

Original Lighting Tom Visser

Johan Inger is a dancer who became a highly acclaimed, prize-winning choreographer. He has served as Artistic Director of the Cullberg Ballet and had a long career as a dancer and choreographer at the Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT). His work I New Then premiered in 2012 and is a colourful, optimistic and inventive piece set to music by Van Morrison. I New Then, Inger’s first choreographic assignment for the Royal Swedish Ballet, marked his return to the company where he began as a dancer. Inger says there is neither a plot nor a story in this dance work; instead it is his way of depicting youthful energy and strength, along with all the fears found inside a young person.
