INVISIBLE RULERS

Bobbi Lo Produktion is creating a brand-new commissioned work for Skånes Dansteater — a performance for young audiences featuring an ensemble of 12 dancers.
INVISIBLE RULERS,
Premiere: February 21, 2026
Into a digital age of endless possibilities, Generation Alpha is born. In Invisible Rulers, the grand promises of technology collide with its invisible shackles and limitations. It’s a dystopian future where the algorithm rules everything and every new idea is shaped by the algorithms of an entire generation.
The algorithm molds individuals and suggests their next steps. Every garment is a copy, every movement a repetition. But within this pattern, a quiet resistance begins to grow. Their future balances between fitting into society’s framework — or embracing their unique identity.
Invisible Rulers is a story about the courage to break patterns and the search for a new world that celebrates our differences.

International performances

DANCING WITH THE DEAD and DO AS I SAY have had the honor of being part of prestigious international festivals Horsens Teaterfestival in Denmark and the NAKS Festival in Tartu, Estonia. These performances have allowed us to share our artistic vision with a broader audience and foster meaningful connections across borders.

We are incredibly proud that our productions have been featured at these renowned festivals. It is a testament to our commitment to exploring and presenting complex and thought-provoking themes through the medium of performing arts. DANCING WITH THE DEAD offers a profound reflection on life and death, while DO AS I SAY sheds light on the dynamics of power and obedience in a way that challenges and engages the audience.

Participating in these festivals has also been an invaluable opportunity to connect with fellow artists, organizers, and, most importantly, audiences, whose feedback and inspiration have been priceless. We look forward to continuing this journey, bringing these productions to new stages and festivals around the world.

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 Game – a commission for Holstebro Dansekompagni

In The Game the young audience take part as game pieces in a giant life-size board game. A gamemaster and 4 dancers guide the audience through the game of life. Inspired by young people’s stories, THE GAME is based on the worry and anxiety that more and more young people experience today. A performance that doesn’t stroke the audience by the hair, but takes the young people seriously  and gives them their own space for magnificent and sensory experiences.

The Game will premiere April 19th in Holstebro and perform on Aprilfestivalen April 23d.

KOLONISTERNA

KOLONISTERNA premiered the 24 of November at Bastionen, Malmö. After almost one year of research and creation it was a fantastic moment to meet the audience, especially in the school shows. We got some fantastic feedback both from teachers, students and critics.

Anne Middelboe Christensen, Teateravisen:The consequences of colonization are one of the most urgent these years, when we in the Nordic countries are trying to face up to our own unpleasant history as colonists. Therefore, it is wonderful that KOLONISTERNA succeed so intensely as a current, dark dance of conscience with this multi-ethnic post-colonialist look at the past. Alongside the sensation of an authoritative leader’s grip on the shoulder.

Teacher from Rytmus in Malmö:Thanks again for the show yesterday. All the students loved it and were very touched. As I mentioned, they have just studied colonialism and expressed that they gained a deeper understanding thanks to the performance.

Audience impression: “I think the show was incredible. What I really liked was how powerful it was, it was impressive. As an audience member, I really felt the power and control the dancers had, integrating with the audience. You felt it more like it was real. I felt powerless myself by the dancers and I think the message came across more when you get to feel for yourself what you wanted to convey. Very nicely illustrated.”

Student from Pauliskolan:  “The first impression I got when entering the room was an eerie/mysterious feeling. After being seated I noticed the performers outfits and was really impressed as the fashion really added to the experience. The performance as a whole was very intriguing and intimate as it involved the audience whilst also retaining the mystery of the performance. A moment that I remembered was when the performers dropped the large “divider” which revealed the performer in a very beautiful way. I think that the biggest impression on me was the unique ambience and feeling that I got out of all the aspects combined such as things like the music, outfits, eye contact etc. I left the performance feeling positively surprised and also a feeling of refreshment as it was truly an experience that I never had before.”
