Multiplié Dance Festival 2026

Multiplié Dance Festival 21. – 25. April 2026

We are together with you – doing this together in time

Once again we are back to the Multiplié Dance Festival, presenting a gathering and a collision of performances that challenge and defy traditional ideas around dance techniques, aesthetics, choreography and performance practices. 

For this year’s edition, we present artists questioning and looking for new ways of answering. They ask what traces and bodily memories do we carry from a time and culture we do not know about? They explore power, desire, and the tender act of care through the father figure. They search for a common sense of spirituality and explore their friendship with their wheelchair. They explore how it is possible to balance physical function and expression. They explore how dance, music and rhythm can become one and they ask what happens if we listen to dance instead of observing it visually? 

Among the questioning and answering, there will be a space for you to dance both during the day and night. You might be one of the lucky ones to catch the performance Morgenkaffe during your commute to work, or you might want to attend Friday disco, where Grrls over 60 and modne gubber invite you to a disco during your lunch break ImproDans Trondheim also invites you to play and express yourself through movement during their performance. We are also very happy to present a workshop series in collaboration with great organizations in town, happening at our studio every morning during the festival week. 

The festival format creates a space where we are invited to come together and be with the questions, thoughts and reflections shared with us. We are together with you – doing this together in time – is a sentence appearing in the performance The Unison Piece, by Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion. For us it captures what makes the festival come alive. It is  doing things together as audiences and artists,in a time that only appears once a year before it disappears again.

We really hope that you will join us together in time for Multiplié 2026
