Max - Teater Sagohuset (SE)
MAX- the play about the ball, the car and the lamp A dancer, a musician and an actor present Max’s magical world and everyday adventures. The performance is about the ball, the car and the lamp, but also the words, the colours and the tunes. It is about what is yours and mine, here and there, and last but not least silly things that don’t do what you want them to do. The stage invites to interaction between audience and actors. A low-key, intimate and beautiful performance for the smallest ones. Based on the Swedish author Barbro Lindgren’s well known books about Max.

Inside Out - Memory Wax Dance Company (SE,CU)
Inside Out is a playful and a poetic duet, using the frame as an object and metaphor. The piece asks questions as: Who are we? What is outside? Who is inside?
By using simple objects the piece shows how trust and friendship is developed from play, creativity and cooperation.
Inside Out is also a travel from sheer joy to more complex and mixed emotions while growing up.
Age: 9-12 years
Sixth Day Of The Moon - The Touring Company of Dansstationen (SE)
Sixth Day Of The Moon / Månens Sjätte Dag is choreographed installation by Dalija Acin Telander for babies 3-15 months, which explores the possibilities of an event-world rather than an object world - something dynamic and relatively unpredictable. It aims at diverse sensory experiences and a heightened sensitivity towards the immediate physicality of the world by interlacing movement, dance, music, visual art and light design. The performance invites its audience to engage in playful and open-ended experience that does not present concrete goals but rather expects them to explore and discover a new form of being-in-the-world.
NOOK - Skånes dansteater (SE)
Meet Skånes Dansteater’s dancers in a new work by Italian choreographer Fabio Liberti. In NOOK dancing bodies become a building collective. A group that creates a space for community. But this space never ceases to change. Unconsciously, they turn winding paths into elusive labyrinths and build obstacles to their coexistence.
Fabio Liberti's award-winning dance performances have been shown on international stages and festivals around Europe. He has created works for dance companies in Denmark, Germany, USA, the UK and Sweden. Fabio's work has also been shown at the Danish art museums Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Charlottenborg Museum and the Free Center of Contemporary Art.
‘Djurens karneval’ (Carnival of the Animals)- Skånes Dansteater (SE)
In ‘Djurens karneval’ (Carnival of the Animals) a magical universe full of imaginative creatures awaits. To the tones of Camille Saint-Saëns’s classical masterpiece ‘Le carnaval des animaux’, these spectacular beings welcome you to a place outside our world, where fantasy and reality can meet.
Spanish choreographer Marcos Morau and Skåne Dansteater’s dancers borrow details from reality to pick them apart and force them together, creating new truths. Get inspired by the ingenuity of Marcos Morau’s peculiar movement language and Silvia Delagneau's fantastic costumes. But stay on your toes, in ‘Djurens karneval’ the step from loving animals to nasty beasts is teeny-tiny.
