Dwelling in the abyss, Sweet Spot conjures a distorted dance macabre in a hypnotic landscape gathering six ecstatic figures who sing, collapse and syncopate around each other.

Driven by a “dromomaniac” pull; an uncontrollable urge to keep moving, Sweet Spot spirals into a ceaseless whirlwind, an abundance of unhinged rhythms, mythologies, groovy processions and sudden surges devouring the spectator and everything in its path.

Harald Beharie(he/they) is a Norwegian-Jamaican performer and choreographer based in Oslo, Norway.

Beharie’s practice and choreographies often emerge in the tension between the everyday and the extreme, the banal and the sacred, playing with transformation as a continuous principle, for both the body and the spaces they move through. At the core lies a desire to challenge how we sense reality. Their works explore how queerness and the body can act as a medium and a site for revolt, ecstasy, and dissolution

Sweet Spot is the last part of a trilogy of works which includes the solo piece Batty Bwoy (2022) playing with the fictions surrounding the queer body and the group work Undersang (2024) that takes shape as a collective ritual in the forest.
