Kuopio Dance Festival

Program 2023

 

Compagnie Mouvements perpétuels / Cie Salia Sanou

I have a dream – the iconic phrase by Martin Luther King inspired the title of Salia Sanou’s creation D’un Rêve.

Bruno Beltrão / Grupo de Rua

With New Creation, Beltrão punches a hole through the thick fog of authoritarianism and uses art to drive change.

Alexander Vantournhout / Not Standing

Through the Grapevine is a quirky pas de deux between two men. Performers Alexander Vantournhout and Axel Guérin show their bodies, stripped of all frills.

Prototype Status / Cie Jasmine Morand

LUMEN immerses spectators in an introspective and visual experience where darkness gradually fades to become white, blinding light.

Kammerballetten

KAMMERBALLETTEN will perform works by e.g. Paul Lightfoot and Juliano Nuñes, interpreted by the world-class musicians of Trio Vitruvi and dancers who have starred the Royal Danish Ballet, San Francisco Ballet and Nederlands Dans Theater.

Genelec-Gala

The gala is a Kuopio Dance Festival classic full of masterful interpretations by brilliant artists.
