A magnificent climate fiction.

This is more than a dance performance. It is a mythological climate ritual, an artistic warning. And a place for collective transformation.

Only a short bus ride from the urban Oslo, the audience arrives at Bjønndalen Bruk in Nittedal. Here, the old mill rises as a majestic backdrop for a stage covered in sand—a flowing desert landscape that seamlessly blends into the surrounding nature. Eight dancers and a massive choir composed of local singers occupy the vast sand dune. Here, Sand Flight unfolds as a corporeal and sensory performance at the borderland between dance, concert, and ritual.

The Norwegian premiere of Sand Flight is a powerful visual production, created by the award-winning Norwegian choreographer Ingri Fiksdal, in collaboration with Jonas Corell Petersen, who has established himself as one of the leading figures among a young generation of directors
