During a rehearsal, a planned solo part was spontaneously transformed into a group piece because the energy in the room was so strong – an example of the creative openness and flexibility of the GöteborgsOperans Danskompani. The ensemble is one of Europe's leading contemporary dance companies. The Danskompani programs almost exclusively new works which are specially created for them in Gothenburg in close collaboration with renowned choreographers.

The stage is dark. A tremor can be felt. Then music begins – more a collage of different sounds. A harmonica. The brief moment of a whistled melody. It is unmistakably the music of Ennio Morricone. The composer, who passed away in Rome in 2020, became famous above all for his film scores for classics such as ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST and THE MISSION. His distinctive and memorable compositions have long since transcended their films, turning Ennio Morricone into a global icon.
