The Strindberg Project
New works by Tilman O’Donnell and Melanie Mederlind.
Opinions on August Strindberg are many and divided. In spring 2012 Cullberg Ballet will be inviting dancer and choreographer Tilman O’Donnell and director Melanie Mederlind to be inspired by, comment on or oppose this Swedish icon. They will each create dance works for an evening’s performance to be premiered on the Dansens Hus main stage in Stockholm on 15 March 2012. Cullberg Ballet will encounter Strindberg in a new form. Exclusive, unexpected and up close.
Cullberg Ballet meets Fotografiska and KammarensembleN
Cullberg Ballet, KammarensembleN and Fotografiska collaborate in a new work, specially composed for Fotografiska. Musicians and dancers meet in this improvised work, based on the collaboration between the varying textures in dance, music and image.
Ekmans Triptych - A Study of Entertainment
A full evening work in three parts by Alexander Ekman. Three separate works weave through a multitude of expressions, where dance meets dialogue, wit becomes wistful and the meaningful cohorts with the meaningless. What is entertainment?
40 M UNDER (dance film 2010)
The dance film 40 M UNDER is Alexander Ekman's first lengthy film project. The film, which was recorded in the summer of 2009 in the former reactor hall at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, focuses on a few people who carry out a type of installation underground.
JJ's voices
In November 2009, for the first time ever, Cullberg Ballet made an entrance on the Stockholm House of Dance’s small stage with two new pieces. One of them was Canadian choreographer Benoît Lachambre's first cooperation with Cullberg Ballet; JJ's voices. The dancers carry Janis Joplin's songs through their bodies.

An illustrative piece by Norwegian choreographer Ina Christel Johannessen. Created directly for Cullberg Ballet in 2011.
In-house - the Cullberg dancers present their own works
The Cullberg dancers once again present their own works at MDT in Stockholm.
The progression of things
The progression of things by Tilman O'Donnell is presented within the frame of Cullberg out in context. The piece challenges broadly conceived notions of history as a linear phenomen.
The Way Things Go
The Way Things Go by Jefta van Dinther is a choreographed chain of causes and effects. Treating the body as a combination of controlled will and factual mechanics, the dancers continually reinvent the circumstances to which they are subjected. Presented within the frame of Cullberg out in Context.
Glass Boxes
Dance installations by Alexander Ekman. A project within the frame of Cullberg Out in context; Cullberg Ballet's site specific project that takes parts of the company's activity out of its usual context to other settings than the traditional.
