Amoroso

A sincere and intimate dance theatre show about love in its various forms with the multiple award-winning and critically acclaimed company Teatr Klucz from Poland. The guest performance is a part of Skånes Dansteater's festival DanskFunk 2026.

Love For All

Amoroso is a performance for lovers and loved ones, for the happy and pleased. For the lost and the abandoned.

This thought-provoking production asks: What love really means to you? Do you love sincerely? Are you willing to love at all? What are you willing to sacrifice for love? On stage, we will see the whole spectrum of human emotional states and behaviour reflecting the different facets of love.

Amoroso is a sincere and intimate show in which Teatr Klucz tell a tale of love, in its various forms. They do it endlessly, with devotion and without remorse. To the end. Without end.

The choreography of Amoroso is the result of collaborative work by Teatr Klucz ensemble and its artistic supervisor, Janusz Orlik.

The guest performance Amoroso is supported by Adam Mickiewicz Institute and a part of Europe Beyond Access financed by the European Union's Creative Europe Programme.

"This is more than just a performance… it is an experience to be lived! It moves every fiber of the soul, the mind, and the body!"

— Audience feedback

"Orlik, together with the artists working at Teatr Klucz (…), tells a dream of love – a dream we all seem to share: each and every one of us following the voice of the heart, which sometimes beats with joy, but often, struck by Eros’s arrow, bleeds."

— Piotr Dobrowolski, nietak!t
