A Swedish double bill of cutting-edge contemporary dance from the prestigious, forward-thinking GöteborgsOperans Danskompani.

In Skid, by Belgian and French choreographer Damien Jalet, 17 dancers battle gravity on a vertiginous, 34-degree slope – sliding, swaying, struggling back to the top. Skid is, Jalet says, a “poetics of surrender and resistance” about “the attempt to climb and the fear of falling”.

Then, in Sharon Eyal’s SAABA, an intoxicating dancefloor with pulsating rhythms sees dancers pushing movements to an unearthly extreme.

Eyal is queen of a mysterious universe filled with intelligent life. She draws from the catwalk and club to produce a hybrid choreography, along with Ori Litich’s infectious score, that is entirely distinctive. Wearing flesh-coloured body suits by Dior’s Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri, the dancers are on demi-pointe for almost the entire performance, but this is no traditional ballet.
