The energy of movement, the power of physical expression, a tender intimacy, and striking visual effects—these are just some of the elements that unite the two new dance works featured in the double-bill In-action.
What also connects them is a shared longing for radical change to the way we live. The time to act is now—with strength, creativity, and confidence in our ability to shape the future.
In autumn 2025, two choreographic duos will each create a new work for the virtuosic dancers of GöteborgsOperans Danskompani.
One creation is by the award-winning Canadian duo David Raymond and Tiffany Tregarthen, celebrated for their groundbreaking work with their company Out Innerspace.
Following their early careers in New York, Seoul and Antwerp, David Raymond and Tiffany Tregarthen returned to Vancouver, Canada, to establish Out Innerspace where they have been co-creating and directing for nearly 20 years.
Alongside creation, their extensive performance careers include 10 years with Crystal Pite’s Kidd Pivot and co-directing the post-secondary contemporary dance program, Modus Operandi, generating some of Canada’s most radical and inspired dance artists.
Out Innerspace operates Q7 Studios where each year hundreds of diverse dance practitioners are supported through residencies, sponsorships and outreach activity. Out Innerspace has recently toured to Julidans (Amsterdam), Torino Danza, Colours Festival (Stuttgart), Teatros del Canal (Madrid), Dansens Hus (Stockholm), and Canada’s National Arts Centre. They have recently been awarded the National Arts Centre's National Creation Fund, the CanDance Creation Fund, Associate Artist of Agora de la Danse, and commissions with Ballet BC, Netherlands Dance Theatre 2, Hessisches Staatsballett (Germany) and Gibney Dance (New York).
The other is by the acclaimed Spain-based duo Antonio de Rosa and Mattia Russo, known for their visionary creations with their company Kor’sia.
Antonio de Rosa, born in Castellammare di Stabia, Italy, trained in classical and contemporary dance at the Ballet School of Teatro alla Scala in Milan. He performed with Maggio Fiorentino, Arena di Verona, and Teatro alla Scalabefore joining Compañía Nacional de Danza (Spain), where he was a member from 2011 to 2017.
Mattia Russo, born in Atripalda, Italy, also trained at the Ballet School of Teatro alla Scala. His career began at the Centro Choreográfico de la Generalitat Valenciana (Spain) before moving to Introdans (Netherlands) and later joining Compañía Nacional de Danza in 2012.
Together with Giuseppe Dagostino in collaboration with Agnès López-Río, they have founded the dance company KOR’SIA. The company sees movement as a powerful medium for expressing and synthesizing human experience. Their work explores traditions, culture, and social constructs, transforming them into a choreographic language that transcends time and invites audiences to connect with their most intimate and spiritual dimensions.
