Choreographer: Mats Ek
'Ljusvarelser' (Light Beings), dedicated to Mats Ek's father, the late actor Anders Ek, moves in a dream world; bright and full of hope, but with a hovering darkness over it, as always with Mats Ek. It is a poetic ballet that is associated with the reality of life, masculinity and femininity, creatures in the light and in the dark.
