Skånes Danseteater: MAY FALL

Three performers are arranged frontally on a stage, standing and sitting still as if posing for a formal portrait. A deep red velvet curtain fills the background, creating a theatrical setting. At the center, one performer sits in a wheelchair, facing forward, with hands resting together on their lap. They wear a light blue shirt, a warm-toned checkered skirt, orange tights, and dark sneakers. On either side of them stand two performers, both upright and composed. The performer on the left wears a dark blue long-sleeved jumpsuit with a light belt, arms relaxed at their sides. The performer on the right wears a brown jacket, a light shirt, and a green skirt, standing with feet firmly on the ground. To the far left of the scene, slightly separated from the group, a small wooden table holds a lit candle and a bowl of fruit.

About the Performance

MAY FALL A is a performance where bodies and elements on stage appear and disappear. The dancers move together and apart, creating a shared yet mysterious atmosphere in which different relationships and stories unfold at the same time.

Choreographed by Aristide Rontini, in collaboration with the dancers, the show inviting new ways of looking at pleasure, curiosity and imagination. Sharp gestures, relaxed movements and everyday actions mix together, reflecting our desire to live, to be loved and the tension that arise when we push those desire away.
