GöteborgsOperans Danskompani opens Festspiele Ludwigshafen with world premiere “See you Sunday”

GöteborgsOperans Danskompani opens the prestigious Festspiele Ludwigshafen dance and theatre festival with See You Sunday by Sarah Baltzinger and Isaiah Wilson.
For the first time in the company’s history, a new work will have its world premiere outside Gothenburg.
On 29 November, See you Sunday will premiere at GöteborgsOperan, alongside last season’s acclaimed success We made a mess!

International touring is part of the everyday life and identity of GöteborgsOperans Danskompani. Yet the first guest performance of the dance season marks a unique occasion: for the first time, the company will give the world premiere of a new work away from its home stage.

Katrín Hall, Artistic Director of GöteborgsOperans Danskompani sees this as a natural step in the company’s development:

“We want to be a relevant company that is constantly moving forward – one that is willing to take risks, explore new forms and develop its relationship with audiences, both in Gothenburg and internationally. To maintain our position as a leading company in our field, we need to keep challenging ourselves. It is an honour to open an international dance and theatre festival with a brand-new work by some of the most exciting and talented choreographers of our time.”

See you Sunday is a dance work by Sarah Baltzinger and Isaiah Wilson – a young, award-winning choreographic duo who in recent years have gained international recognition for their distinctive dance works. The duo were recently awarded the prestigious Swan Award for Best Dutch Dance Production for their work Waxes.
Through a powerfully physical and precise movement language, with touches of understated, surreal humour, See You Sunday explores doppelgängers, repetition and fragmented identity.

GöteborgsOperans Danskompani’s three evenings at the festival also feature We made a mess!, which had its world premiere at The Göteborg Opera in February 2026 and was a knockout with audiences and critics alike. Its choreographer, rising British star Botis Seva, creates uncompromising dance works in which he combines styles including hip-hop, breakdance and dance theatre with contemporary dance to create a distinctive language all his own.

See You Sunday and We made a mess! will be performed on 9, 10 and 11 October at Theater im Pfalzbau. The opening-night speeches will be given by Gordon Schnieder, Minister-President of Rhineland-Palatinate; Lord Mayor Klaus Blettner; and Anneli Strömqvist, Counsellor for Cultural Affairs at the Embassy of Sweden in Berlin.
