Together we can become something more and something different!
Once again, a year has passed and we are back to the Multiplié Dance Festival, presenting a gathering and a collision of performances that challenge and defy traditional ideas around dance technique, aesthetics, choreography, and performance practices.
For this year’s edition, we present artists exploring how we can live and exist in the world in other ways. We present artists sharing their lived experiences of being neurodivergent, artists looking at queering as a process of destabilizing normativity and artists looking for ways to create spaces where their queerness can exist without a compromise. We have artists presenting children performances that are made to be experienced on the children’s own terms through concepts of togetherness and easefulness – these performances are made for children with disabilities, but still to be experienced by all.
We will also dance together, and not only in the festival parties but also all over Trondheim. DJ Vika, the 84 year old Polish DJ will visit the festival and host parties in the city, and club- and street dancers will invite eager Trønders to join them in dancing in the streets of Midtbyen.
In the text about the performance Makker, it says “Together we can become something more and something different, both for ourselves and each other”. For us, this sentence gathers what these artists are looking for and working on through their art making. They are each in their own way looking for better and more joyful ways of living and being in this world. Ways that we might not even know of yet.
We hope that you can join us for the festival, and join the quest for how we can become something more – and something different.
