"immortal summit" is an expansion, beyond everything we ever thought about greatness.
Imagine that Bagger 288 and IC 1101 fades in comparison. Immortal summit does everything, it is the greatest, the best, the most beautiful and above all – immortal. What lies beyond the peak of our immortality? Galaxies are great, we are greater.

"immortal summit" is a performance that stretches between ideas of greatness and megalomania. Where do we draw the line in a cultural climate were the idea of perfection is like a thorn in our sides. We think about Caster Semenya, we also think of Kayne West. In "immortal summit" we play in the borderland of greatness, fragility, provocation, aggression, revolution and failure.

BamBam Frost

BamBam Frost is a dancer and choreographer based in Stockholm, Sweden. She graduated from Stockholm University of the Arts, with a bachelor of contemporary dance in 2013. In her work she has moved between the club scene, commercial work, the contemporary dancefield and art institutions. In 2018 she debuted with her piece SORRY.

SORRY (2018), SO SORRY (2019), and YES (2020) all take off from her interest in social dances and pop culture phenomena in relation to the times and contexts they arose from. In her work she insists on pleasure and fiction as a compass to imagine and shape choreographic proposals. “immortal summit” and “choreographic conversation” were created together with Lydia Östberg Diakité and both premiered in 2021.
