One of GöteborgsOperans Danskompani’s greatest successes, with euphoric audiences at sold-out shows both for its world premiere in 2022 and last season’s revival. Don’t miss your chance to see Hammer ... or to see it again!

Hammer is a full evening in two acts with the whole of GöteborgsOperans Danskompani and music by Mikael Karlsson. 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.

Please note that during the performance there is short scene which includes flashing lights (not strobe).
