Sv: Grekisk mytologi möter dagens internetkultur i en pjäs om hämnd, rättvisa och radikalisering. En maximalistisk, magisk och våldsam resa genom nutid och evighet, mellan internettroll och helveteshundar, skolgårdsbråk och den djupaste blodshämnd.



Eng: Greek mythology meets today's internet culture in a play about revenge, justice and radicalization. A maximalist, magical and violent journey through the present and eternity, between internet trolls and hellhounds, schoolyard brawls and the deepest blood feud.




Sv: “ Framför allt är samspelet mellan skådespelare, ljud och ljus både tajt och maxat, och lyckas med de överteatraliska replikerna hålla en mellanstadieklass – generation Tiktok hänförd i 80 minuter”

Eng: “Above all, the interaction between actors, lights and lighting is both tight and maximized, and with the over-theatrical lines, manages to keep a middle school class – generation Tiktok – captivated for 80 minutes”

CRAFTING BODIES


Premiered April 2025
SITE/Specific Festival 2025
Site
Sweden
Choreography Filippa Fahlin
Performed by dancers Alicia Karhunen Larsson & Filippa Fahlin
Live Music / Sound Design Yari Blue/Astrid Risberg
Crafting Bodies är ett möte mellan dans, koreografi och textilt handarbete. Crafting Bodies är ett pågående undersökande, och visades i en första "runda" på SITE/Specific festival 2025 där det framfördes av Filippa Fahlin, och Alicia Karhunen Larsson tillsammans med musikern Astrid Risberg/Yari Blue.

Projektet undersöker hur materialiteten i det textila kan speglas i och genom rörelser som utgår ifrån kroppens vävnader och nervsystem. Publiken bjuds in att sticka tillsammans promenera ett varv tillsammans med dansarna, där vi nystar i begrepp som relationalitet, närvaro, skapande och gemenskapande. Crafting Bodies undersöker spänning mellan abstraktion och aktion, mellan subjekt och objekt, och alltings sköra sammanhållning. I verket får publiken vara i ständig rörelse, där dansarna rör sig runtomkring.

SV:  Ska man se ett krig och inte göra någonting?
ska man bli inblandad i ett krig som man inte vill ha med att göra?

En föreställning om maskulinitet, krig och det som är overkligt långt bort.En 45 minuter lång föreställning om att vilja göra det som är rätt


Eng: A performance about two brothers; one willing to go to war to protect “Swedish values” and borders, the other completely opposed to even the idea of military as a way to protect a nation and it’s “values”, convinced that warfare only created more war, never near peace.

HELVETET ÄR JAG (& DU) was the result of our collaborative project during the course Extended Performing Arts and was created useing the working method "tuta och köra"—a method that basically means- don’t doubt, just create. In three weeks we made a musical inspired by and created for the expanded performing arts field at Stockholm University of the Arts. Socially, economically, and stylistically, all content is deadly serious and, of course, means something entirely different than what is said.

SMASH COLLECTIVE

SEPIDEH KHODARAHMI - Choreography & Direction

With  ANNIKA B. LEWIS, MARIA AF KLINTBERG & MARIA NAIDU 

ELINE JACOBSSON - Light Design
NEDA SANAI- Main Composition
ASTRID RISBERG, CHARLIE POUSETTE, NIKI BLOMBERG- Sound Design and Technology
LAURI LOHI & REBECCA ERIKSSON, with assistance HERKULES JANSSON - Costume and Scenography
LAURI LOHI- Producer

A production made in collaboration with KONTRÄR




For six years, Sepideh Khodarahmi has been touring with- and exploring her "cake-sitting" practice; a sensory performance work in which she constructs, seduces, and sits on a cake. A performance that blends disgust, humor, and seduction in equal parts, and above all, a practice that allows eroticism to take on new forms and articulations. Based on this extensive research, she is now creating her first group work, SMASH COLLECTIVE – The Erotic Clown, together with dancers Maria Naidu, Maria af Klintberg, and Annika B Lewis.

In SMASH COLLECTIVE – The Erotic Clown, the erotic potential of destruction is at the center. Through a haze of heavy bass and club music, the dancers move in a pulsating universe of decadent pleasure. Sensual choreography is mixed with drag techniques, humor, and club dance, forming erotic rituals. Carefully constructed rites driven by the dancers' individual desires and longings. A playful laboratory emerges— a mapping of the choreography of destruction and seduction, with a wink of the eye.

A performance focused on the erotic potential of destruction. Blending errotic- violent
and tender choreography, drag and the vulgar with the intensity of a queer club at 5am and the intesity of resting on your couch when you have decided to skip your plans.
