In her latest work, the Swedish choreographer Alma Söderberg combines body, voice, and rhythm to evoke powerful emotions in an intense, lively choreographic concert.

Five dancers and musicians stand in a circle, facing each other. Their bodies breathe in sync, as if sharing a common rhythm. Voices rise—not as words, but as sounds, breath, shouts, clicks, and singing. Infinétude opens with a living circle of sound and movement, built in real-time, in the middle of an open, bare stage at Black Box teater.

Using the raw strength of flamenco as a starting point, Söderberg explores her first major dance love through a physical and musical dialogue that grows and changes like an endless wave. The choreographer is known for her unique use of the voice as an extension of the body, and in Infinétude, rhythmic vocal sounds, bodily precision, and musicality are combined in every movement. The result is a choreographic concert; suggestive and sensitive, yet also playful and humorous. The performance breathes, pulses, and never stands still.

Infinétude is more than a sensory musical experience. It is also an act of resistance. In a time marked by disinformation and political polarization, Söderberg insists on a stage space where emotions and intellectual thought coexist, and where the emotional does not conflict with the rational but is a prerequisite for it.

"I believe in performative practice as a way to become more intelligent and more receptive—more porous as a human being"

The strength of flamenco lies in its ability to encompass and express the entire spectrum of feelings; from sorrow to despair and joy. Söderberg captures this rawness and transforms it with her distinctive artistic signature: rhythmic vocal sounds, bodily precision, and musicality.
