THIS IS NOT A RELIGION

In this piece, you will experience community with the collective through untamed dance. Be uplifted and indulge in togetherness and comfort. Seamlessly, structure and form change and your intuition is put into play. This involving performance is an unexpected experience, where your notions about yourself are turned upside down.

THIS IS NOT A RELIGION, a breathtaking, immersive dance piece and the third part of Bobbi Lo Production’s trilogy on power and the abuse of power. A piece that makes space for the complex duality between the collective and the individual. Seven dancers will invite you and kindly but firmly take charge. They lead you on a journey of togetherness, in a meticulously choreographed mix of; movement, voice and very well composed music. But don’t worry, This is not a religion..

The portrayal is touching and effective; in just 45 evocative and well-composed minutes, we are guided through the entire process of brainwashing.” Boel Gerell, review of This is not a religion, Sydsvenskan
