ERIK LINGHEDE Rooted in the hip-hop aesthetic, HO
LD is a sensitive, raw duet exploring the human need to create a sense of coherence, and the search for closeness and intimacy. Choreographer Erik Linghede and dancers Anton Borgström and Robin Sundberg journey inside the tissues and the emotional vacuum of the human body. In the course of the work, the dancers take inspiration from expressions of emotion, relationships at various stages, and internal bodily processes, as well as exploring the possibilities and alternative language of popping, a dehumanized style of street dance. Built around the improvisational core of hip-hop, and with a strong focus on sensitivity and communication, HOLD experiments with expression and language.
