Performing: Cristina Caprioli (Tanz & Choreografie), Oskar Landström (Tanz), Louise Perming (Tanz), Yoann Durant (Live-Musik).

The Tanz im August Festival dedicates this year's retrospective to the influential choreographer Cristina Caprioli, who since the early 1990s has questioned, set in motion and fundamentally expanded the meaning of choreography.

At Radialsystem, Caprioli will present several works under the title Ashes: At the center is the installation work ASKA, which will be shown in the hall. Under the large, movable truss, a wide space opens up through which the dancers* sail and glide to the sound of live electronic musician Yoann Durant.

Cristina Caprioli is a Stockholm-based dancer and choreographer. In the mid-1990s she founded the independent organization ccap, through which she produces performances, installations, films, objects, publications, and other choreographies, as well as long-term interdisciplinary research projects. Caprioli's choreographies are characterized by precision, complexity, and sophisticated physical technique. All of her productions question the normative formats and economies of exchange of her cultural field. From 2008 to 2013, Caprioli was a professor of choreographic composition at the Stockholm School of Dance (since 2014 the School of Dance and Circus, Dans Och Cirkus Högskolan, or DOCH) and has received a number of grants and awards. In the fall of 2021, Caprioli was awarded the Royal Medal Illis quorum meruere labores.
