Sweet Spot is an upcoming work by Harald Beharie in collaboration with Karoline Bakken Lund - premiere 2026.
Sweet Spot is a tempting and seductive "Hellmouth" filled with corruption, joy, and erotic allure. A hypnotic landscape which serves as a gathering place for five figures who play, sing, and collectivity syncopate around each other. In an abundance of positive sexuality and eroticism, they examine the boundaries between apathy and empathy, pleasure and exploitation. Filled with folklore, social dances,collective rhythms, garish stagings, mass death, and vitality, Sweet Spot surges forward and devours the spectator and everything it meets.
Sweet Spot draws inspiration from the allegorical poem 'The Whale' where the
whale lures fish with a sweet smell, only to capture them. The tale serves as a catalyst for exploration of how seductive and sweet appearances and intimacies can conceal underlying murky dangers, leading one into a hellmouth where anything can happen.
