Balls

Four men in movement in a chamber play about courage.

In the face of unknown forces, moveable targets and an infinity of circles, circuits and paths.

Together with choreographer Odd Johan Fritzøe, pictorial artist Torhild Berg and the composer Hild Tafjord, the dancers let their imaginations run riot on the themes of interaction, distinctiveness and originality in the delightful ball game of art.

When Odd Johan Fritzøe in 2000 was awarded the annual Performing Arts Award from the Norwegian Association for Performing Arts, the grounds were artistic courage. Movement has primordial significance in his works, and cultural relativism and popular culture phenomena are recurring themes in his performances. Fritzøe received his dance training at the Norwegian State Ballet School and has been a working dancer for twenty years. He choreographs both own projects and for institutions, most recently for the Finnish National Ballet in 2006.
