Limerence

In Limerence, choreographer Mona Namér explores the psychological and emotional states of infatuation and obsessive longing. The performance delves into the intensity of unrequited love, where every glance, touch, and gesture is magnified into a feverish dance of desire and uncertainty. Limerence is a visceral exploration of the mind's most intense, fleeting obsessions—a dance of the heart and the psyche. As part of the artistic process, Limerence is performed with an audience while it is still being created—the work is unfinished, yet it exists precisely where it needs to be.

Mona Namér is a dancer and choreographer from Gothenburg, based in Stockholm. She trained at Broadway Dance Center in New York with a focus on hip hop and modern dance, and has since traveled and worked between Paris, New York, London and Johannesburg. Namér is active in stage and film productions, various art projects and as an educator, and in her practice she explores how movement can act as an alternative language for communication and reflect our contemporary world. The focus of Mona's artistic work in recent years has been on themes such as surrealism, ritual and identity.
