Alexander Ekman’s Hammer is a playful yet piercing look at humanity’s shift from unity to isolation - and our struggle to reconnect.
From Sweden’s most daring choreographer, Hammer unfolds as a two-act exploration of modern existence. A free-spirited commune, alive with joy and connection, gradually fragments under the weight of self-consciousness and surveillance. With wit, rhythm, and exuberant movement, Alexander Ekman exposes the absurdity of ego and the longing for authentic community in a fractured age.
Rialto Recommends: Alexander Ekman: Hammer Brimming with humour and kinetic brilliance, Hammer is Ekman at his most human - a wild, theatrical journey from chaos to clarity. The dancers shine with explosive energy and emotional truth, capturing both the comedy and tragedy of a world learning, once again, how to dance together.
