LJUSDYKARE (Light Divers)

 premiere Glashuset 20th sept 2002

 Light Divers is a production that when performed seems to stop time but that when it is over has lasted only a moment. It is dance from person to person without either intermediaries or agents.  - Cecilia Olsson, Dagens nyheter

I found the same ruthless energy and total conviction in Eva Lundqvist's Light Divers, which was performed by Dan Johanson, Ingrid Lundmark and Stephan Mensah. In the choreography, where the whirlwind movement was a basic form, the fundamental elements were deconstructed, fragmented, reconstructed and reiterated in the bodies of the dancers when they moved across the floor at a furious tempo. In spite of the high tempo, there were passages of calm where the dancers were given the opportunity to affirm each other and they thereby became very present. Light Divers marks the brilliant return of Eva Lundqvist and it was an added bonus to see Vindhäxor occupy the stage at Glashuset again. - New dance rewiew - Independent press

The dance performance of the year

Light Divers by Eva Lundqvist/Vindhäxor (Wind Witches)

Motivation: The production is characterized by ruthless energy and a total conviction in both choreographer and dancers. To watch Light Divers was like being drawn into a whirlwind; it left me breathless and I hoped at the same time that it would never end.  - Independent press
