The American choreographer and dancer Trisha Brown was one of the founders of the Judson Dance Theater and one of the most important pioneers in the postmodern dance movement. After the world premiere of Brown’s piece Set and Reset in 1983 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York, Trisha Brown Dance Company became a world name. The work was considered groundbreaking in postmodern / abstract choreography and remains Brown’s signature work.

During this year’s festival, the audience will have a rare reunion with Trisha Brown Dance Company’s original choreography – in a new costume. The same evening, the audience will experience two very fresh dance pieces created by the remarkable choreographers Annie Hanauer and Seke Chimutengwende. The three works are performed by the British dance company Candoco Dance Company, recognized across national borders for its very distinctive performances. The company praises different ways of seeing and making art, invites the audience to a dialogue on the theme of dance and disability and expands the perception of what dance can be.
