Out of the Blue

Join us on a marvellous journey inspired by the eternal human desire to create meaning and community. A new opportunity to experience the acclaimed dance performance Out of the Blue with Malmö Opera Orchestra and Malmö Opera Children's Choir by choreographer Anouk van Dijk. 

Expect the unexpected in this musical journey from Bach to Björk. Once again Skånes Dansteater join forces with Malmö Opera Orchestra and Malmö Opera Children's Choir in highly acclaimed Out of the Blue by Dutch choreographer Anouk van Dijk.

Out of the Blue departs from creation myths present in cultures throughout history until present day, as a group emerge from an abstracted blue world. They collect, invent and parade artefacts from lost, threatened or imagined worlds in ever-changing processions, uniting, colliding and joining forces again.

Ancient rituals turn into commerce, pagan beliefs merge with seasonal feasts, humans transform into cyborg plants. Out of the Blue celebrates the power of the imagination, and the resilience to adapt to unstable conditions as we prepare for a future yet unknown.
