People Places Things – A Play About Courage

“We don’t believe in limits. We believe in pioneering. We believe in vision.

Even if it seems impossible to everyone else, we say yes.

How beautiful it is to be alive.

To swim in the sea, to look at the sky, to feel the sun on your skin…

To climb a mountain or to take even a single step up a staircase.

To love and be loved.

How beautiful it is…

Now it’s mine! Now it’s yours! Now it’s ours!

And this is just the beginning.”

People Places Things is the story of a person trying to free themselves from the burdens of the past.

The story of Nina, Emma, Sarah—or, for now, Sarah.

Who can say for sure?

As long as we can face our fears, confront reality, and, most importantly, love ourselves, we exist.

If life is a battle for existence,

and if existence begins with family,

sometimes, you need to break free from all dependencies.

Even from your mother.

“A coyote only falls when it looks down. In reality, it can run in the air,
but the moment it realizes it should fall, gravity kicks in. That was my spiritual awakening.”

This play reminds us of long-lost siblings, family dinners that were never shared,
and that we should never look down.

Can we keep going without looking down?

I don’t know.

Maybe.

The greatest hit ever for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, Hammer is coming to the Turkcell Stage in May 2025!

Hammer is a two-act evening spent with GöteborgsOperans Danskompani – an unerring dance work that takes us from a state of selfless harmony offline to self-conscious egomania online, and back again. It might inspire us to break through fake facades and choose life instead of likes.

Multi-award-winning choreographer Alexander Ekman is bold, unpredictable and innovative – just like GöteborgsOperans Danskompani. His visually powerful work turns a spotlight on contemporary society’s self-image, often with a humorous twist. He makes us laugh at ourselves, but perhaps even more at others. Ekman has created around 50 works, which have been performed by almost as many companies worldwide. Hammer is his third creation for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani.
