Papperssvalan
In Papperssvalan we are inspired by the power and fragility of a paper. How can a flat piece of paper become alive and magical and create stories? It’s about the power of creativity, the trust in one’s own journey and the feeling of vulnerability. Here the dance explores where objects end and the soul begins. The title stands for freedom and opportunities and the paper itself – a symbol of both vulnerability and creativity.
