Arkivet - Arkiivarádju / The Archive

By Simone Grøtte. Commissioned by The Norwegian National Ballet, 2020

A performance about standing in your own history. About carrying your own archive.

For the first time, you can experience the dance of Simone Grøtte at the Oslo Opera House. Her duet has been created for two female dancers to the music of Luciano Berio and Béla Bartók, two distinctive composers from the 20th century.

The Archive is a part of a triple bill, Chamber dance, at the Oslo Chamber Music Festival, 2020.

"In Simone Grøttes The Archive, the audience is drawn into something that in a surprisingly short time becomes a world of its own"
