LYDIA ÖSTBERG DIAKITÈ & BAMBAM FROST
BamBam Frost is a dancer and choreographer based in Stockholm, Sweden. She graduated from Stockholm University of the Arts, with a bachelor of contemporary dance spring 2013. In her work she has moved between the club scene, commercial work, music videos and art institutions. During the spring 2018 she debuted with the piece SORRY.
BamBam’s work is in constant transformation and dialog with the now. There is a strong interest for social dances and pop cultural expressions. She plays with the thought of these as carriers of time, structures and context with which she through choreography can change the narratives of. Inspired by sci-fi BamBam uses choreography as a tool to imagine and propose alternatives.
ODÖDLIG TOPP / IMMORTAL SUMMIT
immortal summit is an expansion, beyond everything we ever thought about greatness. Imagine that Bagger 288 and IC 1101
fades in comparison. Immortal summit does everything, is the greatest, the best, the most beautiful and above all –
It is immortal. What lies beyond the peak of our immortality? Galaxies are great, we are greater.
immortal Summit is a performance that stretches between ideas of greatness
and megalomania. A play on the borderline of provocation and play, violence and care, revolution and failure.
