The ambition will also continue to be "a living place for contemporary dance and the audience in all its power, tenderness and complexity", emphasizes Johannes Öhman at Dansens hus in a press release.

The reopening is celebrated on October 2-3.

"That Dansens hus can now open its home again is more than a comeback - it's a new start", he says.

At the same time, the program for an entire season is being presented for the first time - a total of 33 guest performances with dance performances by, among others, Austrian Florentina Holzinger, Swedish Virpi Pahkinen, and Alexander Ekman and the Gothenburg Opera's dance company, which will perform the acclaimed performance "Hammer".

The French-Algerian choreographer Hervé Koubi's "Sol Invictus" is described as a "hopeful work" with both hip-hop and acrobatics for 17 dancers.

Among the international guests are also Wayne McGregor, whose performance "Deepstaria" is inspired by jellyfish. Emanuel Gat lets 12 dancers pay tribute to 1980s pop culture and the band Tears for Fears in "Lovetrain2020".

Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Radouan Mriziga transfer Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" to dance, while Mette Ingvartsen invites local skaters to the stage in "Skatepark".
