| Skansen Lejonet 1692 |
The "Skansen Lejonet" Fortress was built at the end of the 17th century as a defence against belligerent Danes and Norwegians. At this time, the Swedish west coast amounted to a rather narrow strip of land along the Göta river, with Gothenburg as a newly founded harbour and town. Historic buildings of this type are rare in Western Sweden. Luckily Skansen Lejon is in good repair and in active use as a conference and event site.

Skansen Lejonet
Sept 30 2017 |
In September 2017 the upper floor just under the roof was the site of a very special dance performance. The attending public had to climb steep and tight spiral stairs to get there.
Frauke has established a firm reputation in Sweden as a dancer within the Japanese Butoh genre. At this night, a seamless interaction of the historic architecture, superb lighting effects, electronic sounds and unusually mellow and harmonious dancing made for an extraordinary experience.
Note: The event's music was composed and performed by Andreas Tilliander. The image show features a different composition by the same composer.
