Livrustkammaren

Teaterkungen - The Theatre King

Livrustkammaren - The Royal Amoury comissioned me to do a baroque dance solo for a video for their exhibition Teaterkungen (The Theatre King) Oct 2023 - Feb 2025.

I was dancing in a costume that was of a recreation of a late 18th century "demi-caractère" costume worn by Duke Carl, the brother of Gustav III. The original costume is part of the exhibition while the reconstruction was created by the best Anna Kjellsdotter.

I had also the pleasure to model in the costume for their poster for the exhibition.

See more about the exhibition at Livrustkammaren.

A live presentation will happen at Livrustkammaren on the 22nd of FEB called Gudar, herdar och furier- danskostymer i rörelse (Gods, shepards and furies - dance costumes in movement).

The fantastic researcher in theatre studies, Petra Dotlacilová talk about the different styles of costumes of characters from eighteen centuary theatre and I will present some baroque dance solos in costyme and style to bring the movement to the presentation.
