Charlotte Engelkes and Bo Arenander in a mixed performance with dance, text and song.

The long collaboration with Swedish choreographer Arenander and Engelkes has led to the piece about their even earlier relations, in past lives. A joyful journey through many fragment memories, like being thrown to the lions in Rom. Or a lifetime of hidden love for each other in ancient Japan. Back in Flesh provides a personal and recognizable sense and delicate presented.

Reviews

“Back in flesh becomes through it´s smallscale and disrespectful invasion an unconventional experience that shows a different approach to the fiction of the stage, or was it reality.”

“This Hybrid performance … containes speech, song, dance, theatre and quite a lot of laughter.”

“On the stage, almost deserted, Engelkes and Arenander construct a fragmented meta-revue´ where the skillfulness is the only mean of the artists.”

“Distance and presence, breathlessness and full speed is not opposites but each others suporters.”
