The starting point for BUD is to examine the waiting state. Choreographer Roza Moshtaghi takes inspiration from a personal experience by exploring how we experience waiting and expectations associated with being in this mystical state between life’s small and large events. Waiting is a game of patience. The enigmatic figures start in costumes that border installations: they appear waiting and almost motionless in the dim darkness. Slowly and painstakingly, they emerge from their shells and come to life – the intensity of the music, lights, and movements increase. The dancers undergo different situations where they wait, stop, start and make new attempts.
The title also refers to the flower bud, and flowering attempts occur throughout the performance. Subdued and restrained growth turns into moments of wildness and disorder. The bare stage floor, the pulsating music, and the clever lighting make BUD’s scenic waiting room an introspective visual experience.

BIRGET; Ways to deal, Ways to heal
Based on the Sámi expression "Birget", which means "to face and survive in a changing environment", the play explores the way in which the State deals with its own colonial heritage, both pedagogically and critically. Sara et Nango
