OPLEV DANS AF INTERNATIONAL KALIBER FORAN OPERAHUSET MED VANDET I BAGGRUNDEN. FRI ENTRÉ. 


Dansk Danseteaters Summer Dance vender tilbage fra 26.–30. august 2026 - i år i nye, spektakulære omgivelser helt fremme ved vandkanten foran Operahuset. 


Årets forestilling er Le Scénario af den internationalt anerkendte koreograf Philip Berlin, som er en af de mest markante stemmer i dansens verden. Han skaber dans, der sprudler af energi: atletisk, fuld af glæde og med masser af kant.


Summer Dance er en gestus til byen. Her gives der fri adgang til international dans i øjenhøjde, der kan mærkes i kroppen, uanset om man kommer for første gang eller har dansen under huden i forvejen. 


Summer Dance tilbyder også gratis danseworkshops til alle, der vil være med, i alle aldre. 


ÅRETS FORESTILLING ER LE SCÉNARIO AF PHILIP BERLIN 

Le Scénario er en danseforestilling, der dyrker klimakset som tilstand: de høje spring, det dirrende overskud, glimtet i øjet. Den svenske koreograf Philip Berlin hylder den rå post-punk drysset med pailletter, mens han trækker tråde tilbage til den frie moderne dans fra 1960’erne og 70’erne med referencer til blandt andre koreograferne Merce Cunningham og Michael Clark – iklædt kostumer, der flirter med både renæssancens mandemode og nutidens queer æstetik.

Forestillingen opleves som ét langt crescendo. Lys, lyd og bevægelse bygger sig op og vælter ind over publikum. Fokus er på det øjeblik, hvor kroppen slipper gulvet i et spring mod himlen. Danserne springer som hjorte i fuldt firspring – elegante, vilde, uforudsigelige.

Forestillingen har siden premieren på Dansens Hus i Stockholm i 2023 været opført på scener i hele Skandinavien, herunder Operaen i Oslo.

EXPERIENCE WORLD-CLASS DANCE IN FRONT OF THE OPERA HOUSE WITH THE WATER AS A BACKDROP. FREE ADMISSION. 


Dansk Danseteater's Summer Dance returns from August 26–30, 2026 – this year in new, spectacular surroundings right at the water's edge in front of the Opera House.


This year's performance is Le Scénario by internationally acclaimed choreographer Philip Berlin, one of the most distinctive voices in the dance world. He creates dance that bursts with energy: athletic, joyful, and with plenty of edge.


Summer Dance is a gift to the city. It offers free access to international dance at eye level – dance you can feel in your body, whether you're a first-timer or dance runs in your veins.


Summer Dance also offers free dance workshops for everyone who wants to join, all ages.


THIS YEAR’S PERFORMANCE: LE SCÉNARIO BY PHILIP BERLIN

Le Scénario is a dance piece that celebrates the climax as a state: the high jumps, the sparkle in the eye. Swedish choreographer Philip Berlin celebrates raw post-punk sprinkled with sequins, inspired by the modern dance of the 1960s and 70s, with references to choreographers like Merce Cunningham and Michael Clark – dressed in costumes that flirt with both Renaissance men's fashion and contemporary queer aesthetics.


The performance unfolds as one long crescendo. Light, sound, and movement build up and wash over the audience. The focus is on that moment when the body leaves the floor in a leap toward the sky. The dancers leap like deer at full gallop – elegant, wild, unpredictable.


Since its premiere at Dansens Hus in Stockholm in 2023, the piece has been performed on stages across Scandinavia, including the Oslo Opera House.
