Aristide Rontini/Skånes Dansteater

Venue: HAU2

Why do we resist our wishes? Behind hypnotically flowing curtains, “May Fall” reveals a mysterious world of movement, longing and desire. Choreographer Aristide Rontini and the dancers from Skånes Dansteater invite you to shift the perspective on pleasure, curiosity and imagination.

Different relationships and narrative threads arise, merge and disappear again. Everyday movements intertwine to create situations full of longing and love, but also full of friction that arise when wishes are suppressed or failed.

Italian dancer and choreographer Aristide Rontini, founding member of Al Di Qua, a group of disabled artists and activists working for disabled artists. In his work, he deals with questions of identity and the relationship between the individual, society and nature. For “May Fall,” he works with Skånes Dansteater from Malmö, a contemporary dance company that sees inclusion and accessibility as central components of its work.
