Marta Alstadsæter and Kim-Jomi Alstadsæter form the Norwegian/Dutch duo Marta & Kim. They are known for their unique performances in which circus and dance meet. With their diverse backgrounds, they bring together different perspectives, allowing them to search for universal meanings in their work. Their performances focus on human connection, using simple physical metaphors to create accessible images that draw the audience into a poetic narrative or atmosphere.
At the moment, Marta & Kim are working on their new production FLUX. After years of working as a duo, FLUX is the first solo direction by Marta Alstadsæter, created from a predominantly female perspective. Alongside Kim, they collaborate with two strong performers – Marie Khatib Shahidi and Hellen Boyko.
Try-outs: October 30 and 31, 2025 – Dansateliers, Rotterdam
Premiere: November 6, 2025 – Korzo, The Hague
Tour: November 2025 – June 2026

Marta & Kim address timeless themes that at the same time reflect on the underlying currents of today’s world. In their award-winning performance ENGEL (2018), winner of the BNG Bank Dance Prize and selected for Aerowaves Twenty19, they explored, with a contemporary perspective, the birth of ideas and thoughts through “physical poetry.”
With FASE (2020), they actively involved the audience in the performance, sparking a dialogue about belonging to a society or ecosystem. In Our Arms Grew Together (2021), they presented an intimate self-portrait of their own relationship, exploring the boundaries between performance art and choreography. In their recent work Another Moment Ago, Marta & Kim examine the perception of time and how it shapes our interactions and experiences. By combining circus and dance, they create a dynamic performance that plays with the speed and intensity of movements, establishing a deeper connection with the audience.
With these varied experiments, Marta & Kim aim to continue building new performances that explore chaos and form, themes that have fascinated them for quite some time.
After many crossovers, partner acrobats Knot on Hands, Felix Zech, and Marta & Kim join forces in 2024 in the performance Meander.
