Aristide Rontini / Skånes Dansteater

May Fall

Part of “NO LIMITS 2026”

  • Dance
approx. 50 mins.

Why do we resist our desires? Behind hypnotically billowing curtains, “May Fall” reveals a mysterious world of movement, longing and desire. Choreographer Aristide Rontini, together with the dancers of Skånes Dansteater, invites us to shift our perspective on pleasure, curiosity and imagination.

Various relationships and narrative threads emerge, merge and then fade away again. Everyday movements intertwine to create situations full of longing and love, but also full of the friction that arises when desires are suppressed or denied.

The Italian dancer and choreographer Aristide Rontini is a founding member of Al Di Qua, a group of disabled artists and activists campaigning on behalf of disabled artists. In his work, he explores questions of identity and the relationship between the individual, society and nature. For “May Fall”, he is collaborating with Skånes Dansteater from Malmö, a contemporary dance company that regards inclusion and accessibility as central elements of its work.

Visitor note

The performance explores the themes of fear and death. Conflicts and threatening situations are portrayed abstractly through dance and theatrical imagery. In one scene, a knife can be seen on stage. Relaxed Performance. Recommended for audiences aged 12 and up.

Wearing an FFP2 mask is optional at the NO LIMITS events. However, the team asks for your consideration:

Many people still rely on protection or simply feel more comfortable wearing a mask in the audience. If you'd like to protect yourself and others, feel free to wear a mask in situations where people are close together (e.g., at the entrance or in the auditorium). You can get a free mask at our Access Table in the lobby.  Please stay home if you feel sick or have any cold symptoms.
