KULTURHUSET STADSTEATERN STOCKHOLM (STOCKHOLM HOU
SE OF CULTURE – CITY THEATRE) Under its artistic director of dance, Kenneth Kvarnström, Kulturhuset Stadsteatern has expanded its dance offerings and is producing new works available for touring. The theatre also hosts visiting choreographers and groups, giving them the opportunity to present their works for longer runs. In Kenneth Kvarnström’s TRE (“Three”), three men, three objects, and three stage sets constitute some of the essential ingredients of the performance. Three further ingredients are the costumes, the music, and the dance itself – a sort of trinity, creating magic that goes beyond the limitations of words. Three people, three individuals, functioning together and separately. TRE is a somewhat darker piece about community and individualism.
