SPIRIT WILLING

GöteborgsOperans Danskompani

2025

Is this a rift or a pact? The bond between opposites is as supportive as it is tense Every action can be destructive and generative Falling, clinging, pushing… The momentum of letting go is designed by the intensity of our holding on

A corner of dwelling A dwelling for rumination But discomfort and pressure call out Potential is already approaching With a dance to counter our loneliness Hope countering inaction

How are will you? The will we thought was lost has reappeared And where there’s a will there’s a way Where’s there’s movement there’s change

Change is the problem and the solution Tightly wrapped in challenge Behind a towering obstruction But spirit is uncontainable Its plasticity teases the materiality of our body Form into formlessness And now the wall is as light as light
