“Brilliantly entertaining. Solen och Nordstjärnan is a historical feat. Karin Modigh has created so many beautiful pictures.”

Dagens Nyheter 2018

“A victory for the performing arts. Stage director and choreographer Karin Modigh offers an abundant tribute to theatre and music.”

Expressen 2018

“Karin Modigh has shown that she is the right person to revive the Swedish tradition of early dance, after choreographers such as Mary Skeaping, Ivo Cramér and Regina Beck-Friis.”
