Choreographer: Mats Ek

Mats Ek created a highly imaginative choreography in which his brother Niklas has the leading part, on a journey from youth to adulthood. With wild leaps, a station master rushes through his life; casual encounters, a surrealistic scene of a demon, who keeps on haunting even the life of the adult. Then he starts his monologue: “Dear mother...” - a monologue, directed by the Ek-brothers to their mother Birgit Cullberg.
