There are different threads that weave their way through this year. We show works that use dance techniques outside of the Western dance tradition, works that celebrate the diverse and complicated female energies, that challenge the gender norms and we show works with diverse voices and bodies taking the stage. This year, we will also collaborate with the Iranian dance artist and theorist Maryam Bagheri Nesami with the project folded possibilities. In this project, Maryam proposes an alternative framework for curation to make space for artists at risk. As well as bringing artists to Trondheim, we find it important to make space for local dance artists. We have invited local groups and artists from Trondheim to host events during the festival.

Why is Multiplié a festival? What is so beautiful about the festival format is that its strength lies in the many and diverse voices that it can hold within itself for the duration of a few days. It has the power of the many, all existing together.

So, we hope that you can join us, so we can watch together, converse together, dance together and experience it all – together.
