Madeleine Lindh and Anja Arnquist have been active in the field of dance and choreography since the early 2000s. In 2018 they started the artist duo OR/ELLER which quickly gained the opportunity to create works for national and international institutions and venues. OR/ELLER’s dance art is characterized by highly visually dramatic pieces, using dance as an expressive driving force. They play with the idea of their pieces as surfaces of contact, where they invite dancers and audiences alike, as well as children and adults, to dwell in fiction, playing with both a complex and straightforward tonality, where both seriousness and humor are allowed to take place.

As a result of their interest in working with choreography through a parallax of scenography and dance, their recurring concepts revolve around the notion of “within” and “inside”, reflected in OR/ELLER’s works taking place as large formats on larger stages, as well as more intimate, meeting their audience between two books in a library.
