Surprising, dynamic and mysterious, AB3 shows dedication to the detail in communicating with children through dance. A performance about the number 3 and the difficulty of being fourth; about the things that surround us, how they astonish us and why they are there. Fact and fiction, real and pretend, the very very fast and the infinitely slow. All this in an intensive encounter lasting barely thirty minutes filled with unexpected twists and reversals.

AB3 develops from a linear and systematic choreography to a chaotic and wild dance flickering with many shades. The mysterious set design and costumes contradict the common notion of children’s theatre being excitingly disturbing and accurately arranged. Combined with a choreography that features ballet figures, early dances and completely contemporary ones, they create a visually beautiful, melancholic, mysterious and funny performance. A real challenge for children’s imagination which the young viewers greatly enjoy in many different ways.

“…Children will love the visually beautiful, melancholic, mysterious and funny choreography created by Martin Forsberg. AB3 has so much desire for movement and the discovery of personal movement, however weird it may be, that children love to be absorbed by it.”
