Över Bord (Over Board) premiered in the autumn of 1996 and was Linus Tunström’s first work for the Cullberg Ballet. Following the opening in Västerås, Sweden, Martin Nyström wrote the following in Dagens Nyheter
(Swedish national daily newspaper):
“Över Bord is, finally, a tribute to the transformative magic of performance as a genre. An abracadabra toward what is perceived as locked into place, and a pair of rosey wings for all that is stuck. And as such, nothing short of a minor miracle.”
Danced at the premiere by: Stijn Celis, Bernardo Gama, Gunilla Hammar, Vanessa McIntosh, Monica Mengarelli, Tali Paz, Veli-Pekka Peltokallio, Torunn Robstad, Pompea Santoro and Eytan Sivak
