I say tomato and you don't even talk about vegetables

The performance plays with our conceptions about how we as humans are supposed to relate to each other. I say tomato twists and surprises with new points of views. The piece describes a relationship as something else than it is, and is more interested in asking questions than giving answers.

The piece is a professional collaboration in dance between Sweden and Finland.

Choreography: Björn Safsten
Dancers: Sophie Augot, Jussi Hanhirova and Björn Safsten


The Adaptation

The Adaptation build on urbanisation theories about how we as people adjust to new surroundings. How is that sense of home crated and the frustration and resistance that can occur. The piece is followed with projections related to the environment of the dancer.

The piece was created in collaboration with the choreographer, dancers, and scenographer during a residency in Madrid last summer.
