In an age of faltering truth and reason, where trust in the future is waning, Along-Side proposes dance as a way of being; with environments, with others, with beginnings, and with ourselves, in asymmetry.
Where choreography has often been a method of control, Peter invites us to stay with the unresolvable, to remain within asymmetrical relations, committed to an ethics that resists meaning, memory, and reportability.
In Axel Ebbe, Peter sees a romantic tangled in the absurdities and strangeness of love; where beauty touches death, monsters, and things that fly out of the dark. A sculptor who carved into the world the contradictions this performance dances with.
Peter invites you to join a series of choreographic encounters across a full cycle of the day and night. Drawing from the ghostly sensuality of Axel Ebbe’s sculptures, the sleeping rhythms of the town, and the overlooked material of collective life, this performative installation unfolds as a durational composition.
A score for a town in motion.
A love letter for what was, and for what may come.

A Day and Night Cycle of Being Along-Side
LOVE LETTERS
Drop in and out throughout the day to join this open writing session, where we take time to think, talk, and write about our love. Paper and pens are provided, and you’re welcome to write in Swedish or English. Participation is always voluntary.

ALONG-SIDE
We gather outside the museum, where you’ll be gently guided to act and move with the artworks in the park. The actions are simple, inviting new ways of being alongside art, one another, and the surroundings. You may adjust or opt out at any time.
Please dress for the outdoors, and feel free to wear something that can handle a bit of weather or dirt. The guide will speak in English with some Swedish.

PERFORMANCE FOR THE DEAD OF NIGHT
When the town sleeps, we walk.
Guided we drift through the streets in darkness—humming, touching, dancing softly.
This is a performance for what cannot be seen, only felt.
A celebration of the beauty and potential of society while it rests.
