STF 2026: Jefta van Dinther (SE/DE) „Unearth“

Jefta van Dinther (SE/DE) performance „Unearth“takes place during STF 2026. Get STF 2026 passes and more info HERE.

In Unearth, Jefta van Dinther brings together ten dancers in a bold and stripped-down choreography of body and voice. We slowly embark on a long journey that stretches and plays with the elasticity of time: links are woven and undone, emotions come to the surface and move across worried or ecstatic faces because, more than anything, this is a human epic.

Little by little, the dancers gradually weave the wires of an invisible network around us to the sound of polyphonic chants, whispered melodies and pop refrains that turn into shared maxims. Their inner worlds resound outside, their singularities take shape, their dances are guided by a search for contact, palpable presences and touch.

It is an invitation to experience this moment like being in a gentle trance, an experiment that probes connections that go beyond us, drawing from the resources buried in each and every one of us. In this durational work, the audience is summoned into the intensity of repetition and to linger in the sweetness of introspection.

Jefta van Dinther is one of the most recognised Swedish choreographers and dancers of recent years, who resides and works currently in Berlin. His work is characterised by a clear physical approach and almost always stages an exploration of movement. The moving body is the core of his practice but belongs to and interacts with a body of light, sound and materials.

Central in his work is the question of what it means to be human, examined through its relation to society, community and environment but also to other forms of life. His performances reach out into metaphysical or otherworldly realms and deal with notions of illusion, the visible and the invisible, synaesthesia, darkness, labour, sex, the uncanny, affect, voice and image.
