Festen
Perhaps the party is the last refuge where we can embody our longing beyond language and thought. A yearning away from structure, symmetry and measurability that modern life demands U.S. The party is a tribute to man and the sensual. For dancing and through the body experience all the inherent possibilities of man, jointly as well as individually. Everyone who participates at Festen is also involved in creating it. Our resident DJ Cheza takes us on a journey through the world of house music and we are guided by our master of ceremonies Yared. Dancers Joanna, Johanna and Viktor move through the party together with us.

About Viktor Fröjd
Viktor Fröjd, dance artist, is based in Malmö, Skåne and works both in the large and intimate format in his works. He gathers collaborators, on and behind the scenes, for collective processes which often lead to interactive experiences for the audience. The dramaturgy in the works is often built around the power of improvisation and the understanding of the social. Here everyone stays in the room (practitioners and spectators) with and create the experience. The starting point is dance’s potential to open up for each person’s own experience through desire and community. The watchword in the work is honesty, beginning, time and (non-time). Viktor Fröjd is trained at the street dance training at Åsa folk high school outside Katrineholm and has a bachelor’s degree in dance pedagogy with a focus on street from DOCH – Dance and Circus School in Stockholm.
