It happens in the meeting
The 2015 refugee crisis affected the Swedish Fårö island and its communities, offering an opportunity for connection. Together with people from Syria and Afghanistan, along with local- and principal dancers from the Stockholm Royal Opera, the themes of home, fear and identity were explored through movement. The project was produced and directed by Florence Montmare in collaboration with choreographer Joakim Stephenson, designer Marie Bergman, composer Hugo Therkelson and Sara Sjöö in partnership with Bergmancenter, the Bergman Estate, and Film Gotland.
