Spectacular dance performance on Sara kulturhus’ facade returns

Sara kulturhus and Skellefteå Dance & Ballet Association are proud to present the return of the acclaimed dance piece The Carrier / Bäraren. This unique performance will take place on Skyltsöndag, Sunday, December 1st, at 3:30 PM and can best be viewed from Guldtorget.

The Carrier / Bäraren had its premiere in 2022 during the one-year anniversary celebration of Sara kulturhus. Two years later, the piece returns to once again take over the building with a spectacular display at dizzying heights. This time, the performance will be staged in the dark, creating an even more magical experience. It will also be the final highlight of this year’s Dans i Novembermörkret festival.

– We are incredibly excited to offer this unique experience again, considering how much it was appreciated last time,” says Emmy Gustafsson Wass, Event Manager at Sara kulturhus. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase not only our tall building, but also the artistic heights and creative power that exist in Skellefteå.”

The Carrier / Bäraren is a dance piece that explores the theme of holding up a facade, where heritage and expectations meet in the constant need to express oneself. It is an experience for all to enjoy, regardless of age or background.

– We all carry something within us, and through this piece, we aim to show how these burdens can transform into something beautiful, meaningful, and compassionate. This time, the performance is presented in darkness, highlighting the choreography in a completely new format. We hope the experience touches deeply within and resonates far beyond the river, says Kajza Rauhala, choreographer for Skellefteå Dance & Ballet Association.

– The event is free and open to everyone, and it will be an experience that all can appreciate, regardless of age or language. We hope that this performance will become a tradition that annually brightens the dark winter months,” says Evelina Nilsson, Marketing Manager at Sara kulturhus.
