About the experience
Lutenist Jonas Nordberg and choreographer Kenneth Kvarnström first met 13 years ago and have since collaborated closely on various dance performances, with Jonas participating as both musician and dancer. Most recently, they were seen at Orionteatern in the critically acclaimed performance STOLEN. Now, they come to Artipelag with a mix of lute solos, dance solos, conversations, and duets that move between the exhibition halls and relate to the artworks in various ways. The performance features music by Silvius Leopold Weiss and Robert de Visée for baroque lute and theorbo.
