Presentation
Hammer offers a vivid glimpse into the value of real life beyond the empty pursuit of virtual approval. This hard-hitting and irreverent two-act work confronts us head-on with a culture consumed by self-obsession and a fading connection to reality. Dancers from GöteborgsOperans Danskompani bring a dynamic, electrifying, and impeccably polished performance to a challenging score. Swedish choreographer Alexander Ekman, as always, infuses the piece with his signature blend of unpredictability and sophisticated daring.
