- The entire emotional spectrum that love relationships can evoke is thus expressed by the dancers through body and voice.

- This performance is anything but ordinary. Yet, it is powerfully down to earth.

Mette Ingvartsen is a&nbsp;Danish choreographer and dancer with a company based in Brussels. Her internationally reclaimed work is characterized by hybridity and engages in extending choreographic practices by combining dance and movement with other domains such as visual arts, technology, language and theory. Besides performing, writing and lecturing, her practice includes teaching and sharing research through workshops with students at universities and art schools. In 2024 she received the lifetime achievement&nbsp;award&nbsp;from the&nbsp;Danish Arts&nbsp;Foundation.&nbsp;

- A tremendous intensity arises in the ensemble’s emotional expression as they move slowly

Titre provisoire BRUNO AUSSILLOU 1

Johana Malédon&nbsp;is a choreographer and performer from French Guiana. Her artistic journey started somewhere between Paris, New York and Israel, where she discovered dance both as a safe haven and an escape. In 2019 she started&nbsp;Compagnie MÂLE, with the aim of working from the body, not with it. She relates to the body as a living archive – porous, bearing the marks of life, able to resist, and constantly changing. Johana Malédon&nbsp;is drawn to spaces where instinct meets dramaturgy, where movement becomes a common basis for resistance, friction and social resonance. As a performer, her artistic universes have intersected with those of performers including Léo Lérus, Fouad Boussouf, Abou and Nawal Lagraa and Sylvain Groud. Now, as associate artist with Théâtre Louis Aragon&nbsp;(and previously with CCN du Havre), she continues to explore how the body transforms, disrupts and makes archives. &nbsp;

Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki have been collaborating since 1996. They have created more than 30 performances presented in over 35 countries.&nbsp;Together they explore performativity as a porous and shifting interplay of movement, sound, image and technology. Drawing from a wide range of disciplines, their work creates layered performances where dance becomes an expanded field of inquiry. With sensitivity to both the organic and the artificial, they blur boundaries – crafting spaces where new meanings can emerge, quietly or unexpectedly.&nbsp;At the heart of their work lies a desire to reimagine the body’s relationship to its surroundings, and to invite audiences into this ongoing act of discovery. In 2025, they received the Hedda Award for until, which premiered at Dansens Hus in Oslo. The performance is part of <a href="https://coda.dance/en">CODA International Dance Festival</a>

Children and youth

- HYPER CORAL is one of the most beautifully decorated productions we have seen for this age group, and the adults will certainly also have enjoyed their trip beneath the surface

MYKA was established in 2013 by My Grönholdt and Katya R. D. Nielsen, both graduates in dance and choreography from the Danish National School of Performing Arts. The company is currently directed by My Grönholdt. MYKA creates unique, sensory experiences for families, in which both children and adults can find meditative calm, closeness and magic. MYKA uses productions inspired by nature, animals and natural phenomena to explore topical and touching themes in a way that makes them accessible and fascinating to any age group.Genuine interaction with the audience is at the heart of MYKA’s work. Artistic quality and sensory stimulation are key. There are no hierarchies in the creative process, which means that there is an equal focus on every element. MYKA’s productions can be experienced on stages (theatres, cultural centres) and in art spaces (museums, galleries), often as 360-degree installations. The company’s methods are based on research into children’s perception, and involve experts in creative processes that focus on co-creation and shared intellectual and creative processes. The result is high-quality productions that generate wonder and closeness – for children and adults.MYKA has previously performed UNTZ BABY UNTZ three times at Dansens Hus (2022, 2024 and 2025), which was a huge hit with children and adults. Hyper Coral is their latest production, which premièred at Betty Nansen theatre in Copenhagen on 24 May 2025.&nbsp;

- Hyper Coral is not just a production – it is a space, a moment and a state. It’s an experience in which children and adults come together in a shared sensory field, and where art is allowed to be alive, sensory and deeply human.

Artist talk: Lia Rodrigues

BORDA Lia Rodrgues c Sammi Landweer SR500994

-  In her hands, dance is an activist act. For over 40 years, Lia Rodrigues has used movement to break down barriers, make art accessible to all, and argue—lyrically and persuasively—for greater inclusion and diversity.

Lia Rodrigues, dubbed “Brazil’s miraculous choreographer” by the Financial Times, was born in 1956 in São Paulo, Brazil. She studied classical ballet and history at the University of São Paulo (USP), becoming part of the city’s contemporary dance movement in the 1970s. After a lengthy period in Europe as a dancer, she returned to Brazil and set up the Lia Rodrigues Companhia de Danças in Rio de Janeiro, and in 1992 established the Panorama Festival in Rio and ran it for 14 years.Since 2004, her company has supported educational and creative activities in the Maré Favela in Rio de Janeiro, and this led to the establishment of the Maré Arts Centre, which opened in 2009 and the Free Dance School of Maré, which opened in 2011. Rodrigues combines dance and activism on themes such as racism, inequality and poverty, demonstrating the synergy between art and social processes. She works with dancers from the favela, as well as with performers of different backgrounds and physiques. At the crossroads between performance, visual art and dance, her work moves the body outside its comfort zone.Among the wide variety of her productions previously performed at Dansens Hus are Encantado&nbsp;in 2023 and For the Sky not to Fall in 2017. Lia Rodrigues has received the Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters from France, the Prince Claus Award from the Netherlands in 2014 and the SACD Award for Choreography in France in 2016. She was voted 2019 Choreographer of the Year by Tanz magazine.Borda is a colourful celebration of life, a challenge to our divisions, and a reminder that borders made by humans can also be changed.

- Armin Hokmi meticulously focuses on the origin of the movement, the momentum, the precise moment of the impulse, without attack and without the gesture ending in evanescence.

https://lapepinieregeneve.ch/le-cadre-qui-tremble/

- For Hokmi, dance is not presented as an escape. It does not flee from the world, even when it seems abstract.

Armin Hokmi works with dance and choreography. His starting point was as an actor in Iran in 2009, and he has since studied and worked internationally. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Acting from the Norwegian Theatre Academy (2015–2018) and a Master’s degree in Solo/Dance/Choreography from HZT Berlin (2019–2021).As an associated artist at Montpellier Danse 2024–2026, he explores dance that falls outside traditional categories. His work is characterized by precision, accuracy, and a blend of joy and sensitivity. He previously presented the performance Shiraz at Dansens Hus in August 2025.

- The work is as impressive as it is thought-provoking. It reveals the considerable talent of an artist.
