In our cities, on bronze horses, proud kings quietly stare above our heads. Their history and visual male dominance daily manifested and passed on to the next generation. Where are the women and their stories?

This was the starting point for City Horses – a city choreography with twenty female dancers about power, existence and the female body in the public space, a gallop through cities, a living monument in constant motion, celebrating female courage and power of all ages.

Since the premiere in 2017 at Dansens Hus in Stockholm, City Horses has toured in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Spain, Australia, Mexico, Germany and The Czech Republic.

During 2022- 2024 City Horses is proud to be a Big Pulse Dance Alliance co-production.

CALLING WE ARE HERE celebrates the power that in the shadows has taken girls and women through challenges through out history and continues to do so every day. Their voices echo in the street, proposing a new kind of feminist folk dance, a greeting from today to future generations – Calling we are here.

CALLING WE ARE HERE sweeps across the town square – jumping, spinning, flying forward. A work creating noise, twitching, expanding, shining, drawing you closer, infiltrating and dominating, yet always inviting you in.

CALLING – WE ARE HERE  uses the square, an age old space to dance, and for all to see, challenging our expectations of representation and creating a powerful statement about claiming and sharing space and raising one’s voice.

CALLING – WE ARE HERE  draws in the performed vocals from the tradition of female vocalization, “kulning,” dating back to the Middle Ages and once practiced by women in the borderlands of Sweden, Norway and Finland.

Premiere: 4 May 2024, Sala Torg, Sweden
