The Waste Land
Acrobatic dance with an explosive string orchestra.
What Noone Had Expected
An adventure full of popping, modern dance, and hiphop in which darkness will never be the same.
She had to go harder, run faster. On her own path in her own way. Until everything around her became suddenly dark and she was left with her own thoughts. Are you then really alone? Or is your head home to all kinds of strange creatures? A place full of strange friends, bizarre dreams and warm memories. But also, home to unreasonable fears, beautiful thoughts, and wonderful delusions. Are you coming?
In What No One Had Expected, ISH takes you on a journey into the world that appears when you close your eyes. This dance performance gives shape to thoughts, dreams and figments of thought in a unique way. In a dazzling succession of dance, music and acting, we see four exceptional dancers and a stubborn actress do what no one could have expected. An adventure full of popping, modern dance and hiphop that will make being in the dark never feel the same again.
‘And then something happened that no one expected.’
- Marit Tornqvist
