You can stay for all three solos or attend just one.<\/span><\/p>\n Maison ouverte #7<\/strong> Borderlines<\/strong> In <\/span>Borderlines<\/span><\/i>, Manuel Pelmu\u0219 revisits past performances and personal histories and aggregates notions of visibility and invisibility in connection to history and politics of representation. These histories playfully move back and forth in time and space, updating and reflecting on the notion of boundaries, whether they are boundaries between states or boundaries between artistic disciplines. The artist uses his own memories of the volatility of borders, also in regard to the fall of the Berlin wall. The performance lecture, which will be performed in complete darkness, addresses the hierarchy of senses and reflects on the dominance of the visual in our cultures. With <\/span>Borderlines<\/span><\/i>, Pelmus reconnects to his dance solo <\/span>Preview <\/span><\/i>(2007), which was also performed in a dark space.<\/span><\/p>\n Manuel Pelmu\u0219<\/strong> (born in Bucharest, works in Oslo) has a background in choreography and dance and is interested in ideas of living presence in exhibition contexts and explores the relationship between the human body, memory and the construction of history. He was awarded the Berlin Art Prize in 2012 for performing arts, and represented Romania at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013 together with Alexandra Pirici. His works have been shown in numerous international museums and biennials, such as Palais de Tokyo (FR), MUNCH (DE), Tate Modern (UK), Centre Pompidou (FR), Para Site Hong Kong (HK), Kunsthalle Vienna (AT), Kiev Biennale (UA), Van Abbemuseum (NL), etc. He is currently vice rector for artistic research at the National Academy of the Arts Oslo.<\/span><\/p>\n Flip Side<\/strong> Flip Side is an ongoing series of ten solos being created with and for dancer Rachel Tess between 2025\u20132027 by contemporary choreographers based in Sweden and abroad. Commissioned by Tess as a dance anthology, the title refers to the \u201cflip side\u201d or lesser-known \u201cB-side\u201d of a record. The solos can be combined as triptychs, allowing each presentation to emerge as a unique composition.<\/span><\/p>\n Since 2013, Tess has created from the Scanian countryside with a focus on site responsive works, people and place. <\/span>Flip Side<\/span><\/i> reflects this approach and is crafted to showcase her skills as a maturing performer, unearthing an artistry accrued over a long career in dance.<\/span><\/p>\n In 2025, Tess invited Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Gies, Sophia Mage, and Ulrich Ruchlinski to create solos, with the only guideline being that she would follow the desires of the choreographers. At Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening, the works are presented as a continuous dance of lived experience, drawing from an eclectic range of material\u2014including internet memes, angry women, an alien\u2019s reflection, a custom-built drum kit, references to dance history, and Tess\u2019s extensive movement archive.<\/span><\/p>\n The performance includes the following solos:<\/span><\/p>\n Visualizing the woman I want to become in the mirror Some parts altered She Drifts She Charges Rachel Tess<\/strong> (born in Portland, lives in Knislinge) is an American choreographer, dancer and curator.

\n<\/b>Maison de la danse and Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening present a program with choreographers Manuel Pelmus and Rachel Tess, who delve into personal stories and explore the conditions of choreography. In the performance lecture <\/span>Borderlines<\/span><\/i>, Pelmus reflects on identities and boundaries from personal, artistic, and historical perspectives in a darkened room. Tess premieres <\/span>Flip Side<\/span><\/i>, in which 10 choreographers have been invited to each create a solo for her as a dancer, to be combined into varied, durational performances. Over the course of two days, the art space is filled with gestures and language that renegotiate established relationships between choreographer and dancer, between audience and stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
