PRESS

“They create a vibrating presence that makes the experience physical – it pulses out into the audience.”

   —  Svenska Dagbladet (SvD)

"Smith and Schraiber build a mysterious ballroom where social codes and emotional tremors are danced out with an existential urgency... There is something both deeply human and disarmingly vulnerable in how the dancers surrender to the moment... The movement language is raw, rich, and poetic – at times cinematic – with a tangible tension between tenderness and chaos.”

   —  Göteborgs-Posten (GP)

”Dance to hold on to when the world trembles.”

   —  Dagens Nyheter (DN)

"...a fascinating metamorphosis of dance and music in an urban landscape with folkloristic elements... It's smart and passionate."

   —  Aftonbladet

The Broken Theater is a dance collective founded by
