Malign Conjunction (Goodbye Berlin)
September 15, 2025
The mood is never entirely melancholic nor entirely fierce, but the piece nevertheless powerfully presses on the idea that the show must and will go on. Since an explicit reference is Christopher Isherwood’s 1939 novel Goodbye Berlin, you also attempt to read the unfolding action on stage linearly as such. And it works, finds Ashik Zaman in a review about Alex Baczyński-Jenkins's return to MDT.
Cullberg: Some Thing Folk
September 11, 2025
Some Thing Folk is a rare piece. Unlike Cullberg’s last two productions this work by Ligia Lewis doesn’t deliver euphoria or an out-of-body experience.

The Quiet Agreeable Silence of Wanås
Aug 7, 2025
Wanås very much is on the Swedish art map. If you are in art, or are an aficionado, you will know it. This is the closest you’ll get to a Dia Beacon feeling in Sweden. Certain mediated views from the park have managed to transcend beyond the art territory, as backdrop for people's Tinder profiles, and on even more salacious apps. It does speak of reach, no?
