Please note: Due to capacity, half of the Caravan group will go to this performance and half to the performance called Økohelter (taking place at 14.00 at Stormen Konserthus). If you have a strong preference for either performance please let us know. Otherwise we will allocate the tickets randomly. 

Utopia is in town!

During the last month, the nomadic Dreamplay has been absorbing the city – negotiating with the mountains and in dialogue with the local stories. Now, we open our doors and welcome you too.

 We welcome you into a spa for your soul, to experience how change is possible. You may have forgotten it, but together we will reminisce. We will recall our forgotten languages and tune in to the languageless.

In September, Bodø dream centre opens its doors, and we look forward to welcoming you.

Utopia – a Dream Play in Bodø is part of the following performance series: Utopia – A Dream Play from Tøyen co-produced by The National Theatre and Black Box Teater (2021); Utopia – A Dream Play from Kindergarten, co-produced by Black Box Teater (2023); and Utopia – A Dream Play from Saupstad (2024), co-produced by Rosendal Teater, DansiT – choreographic centre and Trøndelag Teater.

Duration: 60 minutes. You can stay for a further 60 minutes after the performance for dream play, if you would like.
Genre: Dance
