DANCING WILL BE REPRESENTED BY AN AVANT-GARDE COMPANY OF STARS FROM THE SWEDISH ROYAL BALLET.
This troupe, created by prima ballerina Madeleine Onne, is made up of dancers from the 236-year-old Royal Swedish Ballet in Stockholm which encourages and supports the endeavors of “Stockholm 59° North”. This name reflects their roots in a centuries-old tradition of vibrant dance and an ambition to explore the world. Among the members of the new company are some of the most prominent principals of their generation and others whose goal it is to reach that position. They all want to create a new audience for Swedish dance. Every year “Stockholm 59° North” presents at least one production at Confidencen, the Royal Court Theatre at Ulriksdal, superbly situated just outside Stockholm city. This is Sweden’s oldest Rococo theatre, built in 1753. Here the Swedish King Gustaf III took his first steps towards the art of theatre. During the summer season, Confidencen has a wide repertoire of theatre, opera and dance, an equivalent to Glyndebourne in England. Confidencen is also the residence of “Stockholm 59° North.” Among the choreographers, who follow in the steps of Mats Ek, are Örjan Andersson, Kenneth Kvarnström, Jens Österberg. Besides, works by famous artists William Forsythe, Ulysses Dove and Mats Ek are included in their programs.
