About the Performance
Star choreographer Benke Rydman experiments with the boundaries between dance, music, and theater in the show Lonely Together, which takes place on the main stage where the audience, ensemble, dancers, and musicians will move freely. The story revolves around several individuals sharing their deepest secrets. They all carry pain but also the hope for a brighter tomorrow. The performance is framed by a selection of songs from Avicii's repertoire performed live with musicians and vocals. The cast features Peter Gardiner, Maja Rung, brothers Fredrik and Alexander Lycke, Lisette T. Pagler, and Sofia Papadimitriou Ledarp, who bring the story to life alongside a dozen dancers and live musicians.

Information about Standing and Seating Areas
The stage show Lonely Together offers a unique experience, the majority of the audience will be standing on stage, surrounded by the performers. At times, both the performers and stage decorations will move around you. There is also an option to book a seat in the auditorium (stalls and balcony) to experience the performance from there. In the stalls section (including wheelchair spaces), the view will be slightly restricted due to the high stage edge. When booking tickets, you can choose the type of spot you prefer (standing, stalls or balcony).
