Skånes Dansteater performs two works by Hyerim Jang and Farnando Melo at the festival Opera Estate in Bassano, Italy.

Skånes Dansteater will perform two creations from the past season, Korean choreographer Hyerim Jang's Burnt Offering and Sweden-based Brazilian choreographer Fernando Melo's The longest distance between two points. Two works created as a part of an artistic collaborative project between Skånes Dansteater and Korea National Contemporary Dance Company.

In this duble-bill seven of Skånes Dansteater's dancers perform the two works embodying our human endless struggle for connection in The longest distance between two points and fleeting traces in charcoal blackness in Burnt Offering.
