The theme of the 2025 edition of höjdenfestivalen is ‘reprise’. The works shown are restaged versions and adaptations of their original form, with the aim to give more public life to works that have already been made and premiered. If it’s old its gold.
Festival dates: 31 October - 2 November 2025
The festival is made possible with support from Stockholm Stad and the International Dance Programme at the Swedish Arts Grants Committee.
