Suddenly I was super interesting

PREMIERE AT ATALANTE THE 21 OF NOVEMBER AT 7 PM


An evocative dance and theater piece about manipulation, abuse and media inspired by the vast material surrounding the Sture Bergwall/Thomas Quick serial killer case.

Suddenly I was superinteresting  is a collaboration and a collective creation between Studio Oscuro, choreographer Dan Langeborg and artist Timo Nieminen. Together we create a physical monologue scenicly exploring one of Sweden’s most debated court cases. Tens of thousands of pages containing pretrial investigations, medical record entries, a dozen books, TV-documentaries, articles, blogs – documentary material is filtered through body and tape recorder in a performance asking the fundamental question: Who is manipulating who?

PREMIERE AT HAGATEATERN THE 9 OF DECEMBER AT 7 PM

The 11 of August the last total eclipse of the millennium occurs. Minutes before the sky darkens existence is quietly overthrown, the birds end their singing and the cows start returning to the barn. The sun is still high in the sky while the cold and darkness approaches…    

 

In ECLIPSE - There´s Always the sun the extraordinary feeling of time dissolving and the power of nature during the eclipse is recreated through light, sound, movement and scenic elements. The performance is an interantional stageart project and a collaboration between Studio Oscuro and Marq Rawls, International Crossroads Festival Antwerp - Belgium. Together we create a mobile physical and visual solo performance focusing on the complex relationship between man, time and nature.

A renaissance man is rewarded…

Charlie Åström received, as one of 19 well-earned culture workers, the City of Göteborg’s Cultural Grant the 20 of May with the following beautiful motivation:

”Charlie Åström, this self taught renaissance man has with technical skills and artistic exploration examined the unknown, constantly seeking for the poetic dimensions of narration. Softly as a butterfly he has navigated to the enigmatic land of the pyramids to introduce new values and worlds to the art. Charlie Åström’s peculiar Studio Oscuro is in constant light sounding movement since almost 10 years. Cooperations occur, borders are bridged and perspectives widened!”

The Butterfly Pilots on tour

”The Butterfly Pilots is a warm shimmering dance theatre pearl about courage, fellowship and trust, with movement that reminds you of a more tender comedy á la Tati and Chaplin.” Anders Thuresson, Göteborgs Fria Tidning

EGYPT

The 25 of January 2011 numerous protests and demonstrations started to take place all over Egypt – it was the beginning of a revolution we haven’t seen the end of yet. The day after Studio Oscuro landed in Cairo to make the final preparations for touring with The Butterfly Pilots. The tour was cancelled, but we are continuing to plan for a similar tour in the near future together with Angereds Teater. Our visit to Tahrir Square the 1 of February, is an unforgettable memory – among the most beautiful we have experienced.

MEXICO

After the events in Egypt and the concurrent cancelled tour we are very happy to present a new international tour – this time in a continent new to us. Invited by the Swedish Embassy in Mexico and Festival Internacional Cervatino The Butterfly Pilots will be performed on several stages around Mexico during the last half of Oktober.

The Mexican tour is supported by the Swedish Arts Council.
The Butterfly Pilots is an Angereds Teater production. For more info: www.angeredsteater.se
