HORDE

In this world premiere by the two renowned choreographers Ingri Fiksdal and Solveig Styve Holte, dancer Amie Mbye dances alongside 9 youths from the Gamle Oslo district to create HORDE.

Their performance is a summer job for nine girls aged 15-18, all from the district of Gamle Oslo. HORDE is a choreographic piece which – through both set-up and presentation – takes a close look at exactly who is granted access to works of art (and who is not). HORDE examines how choreography can be an agent of change, for the benefit of other, possible future communities. HORDE features new music by Rohey Talaah and costumes by designers Elnaz and Mahtab Garagari.

HORDE acts as an exercise in mutual sensibility and listening. Its choreographic language holds a polyphony of ways to act as a community where the power of the masses – and their ability to bring on change – becomes visible.
