Choreographer Hagar Malin Hellkvist Sellén invites you to a space where movement carries time. With »We move towards the end«, she creates choreographic baths where you, as a visitor, can move freely among the dancers in the room.
»We move towards the end« offers space for a slow-paced presence and a room where thoughts can wander. It allows you to take your time. You can move between active and restful attention.
Originally created as a choreographed exhibition for Västerbotten Museum’s 200-square-meter exhibition hall 2024, the work consists of a choreographic piece in seven parts, total 5 hours and 40 minutes. The exhibition ran for three weeks, allowing visitors to return and immerse
themselves in the choreographic baths repeatedly.
Selected parts are presented at Scenkonstbiennalen in Östersund on June 4–5, 2025. At the Scenkonstbiennalen, three of the four co-creating dancers will participate.
