Heja Sverige is located somewhere between expression and form, where the weak tonalities of emerging dance seep out. This is dance for which the body delivers the terms, dance we all know about, but none of us has seen.
Spångberg takes us beyond geometry, diagonals and conventions into a humorous, absolutely unforgettable research journey into the landscape of dance and choreography.
Three years after the successful performance Powered by Emotion, Mårten Spångberg is back with Heja Sverige (Go Sweden), a performance with starting point in Sweden and Swedish dance traditions. Accompanied by Jan Johansson's Jazz på svenska (Jazz in Swedish), followed by Swedish folk dances Mårten Spångberg seizes the improvisational tradition of dance in a headstrong way.
Like Lewis Carroll's crew is searching for the Snark the dancer is in Heja Sverige searching for a dance that all of us know about, but no one has seen. Heja Sverige is a dance of singulars, singulars without identity. A dance of the skin that captures, as if by surprise, the movements of secret facts, of unknown stages in the formation of things.
