Boreali Land offers a meditative journey where dance, light, projection and sound evoke the birth of the Northern Lights. Audiences roam an Arctic-inspired space where stillness meets motion and the polar night’s ephemeral beauty is reimagined through contemporary performance and movement.
Invites to move around, enjoy and observe the formation of this phenomenon. A universe where temperatures, colors, sound-silence and even scents can be experienced.
“The performance invites for movement, sensorial exploration, proximity to nature and the reminiscence of a magical trip to the inner side of the birth of the aurora boreal”.

An honor for us to enjoy a dancer like you!
It has been an absolut pleasure to work in Boreali, so much fun and stunning work!
It has been wao! Explosive, fantastic, thank you very much!
BOREALI by Anna Borras. Fits everyone – super nice performance!
Our hearts feel very proud of you. Being our daughter is a big present. Your strength and braveness are worthy of admiration.
You had a very good energy.
Dear Anna, thank you so much for your kindness and openness with our young Summer Workers.
They are working on this project on ways in which Riksteatern/Cullberg can do better in our outreach to young Dancers in the municipality. They were tasked with interviewing the Dancers at Cullberg as their first subjects and they also insisted on interviewing you as they’ve been able to experience your work in the past couple of days. You really made a fantastic impression on them. So, thank you once again.
You guys were great!
I really like the way how you explain about your dance background/language. I can see and feel your artistic, physical, philosophical research in combination, feel inspired!
It’s fantastic to see you in your element and how you use yourself and how you also interact with the choreography and what the collaboration looks like. It was inspiring to see Boreali and how you build it together with your artistic teams. GOOD WORK!
A very very true joy to shoot Boreali, thanks!
A beautiful WIP of Boreali, and so nice to meet you, Anna.
A joy to shoot Boreali.
It was an honour to walk by your side and to witness you and your work bloom. You are pretty awesome, you doing such a beautiful work! All these layers that are so beautiful inside you!
You are going so deep in your creative and transformative work thank you for inviting me in. Feeling privileged to support the incredibly beautiful power bomb Anna Borràs with her mental and physical preparation for Project Boreali
I am very grateful to share this process and journey with you. This is such a fantastic opportunity for me too Anna, so thank you. Let’s see how it feels right for us to work. And how you get the best out of me. I am so looking forward to this dear Anna.
Thank you for the nice digital class. It felt so soft in both the body and mind!
Anna, your solo is going to be marvelous! I am sure the auroras would make you move incredible.
I thank you Anna! What a beautiful piece! Strong, powerful, beautiful, playful, flirty, all in: personal, humoristic, loneliness, discovery, reaching out, reflecting on oneself, how should I be, how do I feel, go go go are words popping up if I think back. You are strong performer and a fantastic dancer. It is so nice when you go for it. Love the floor stuff you do. It was very nice in that place as well. It looked so liberating moving around there.
I have loved the three of you. You make and have a great chemistry so as something that makes it so magical.
I did not expect less from you.
You continue dancing so well. I loved it.
Anna is an artist. Is a pleasure to see her performing as you can only see her passion in dance.
A success in dance and music. A precious music and an exceptional dance.
A very strong and significant piece.
She brings you inside her territory and without realizing it she brings you inside your relationship. You find yourself thinking about your moments.
It’s exactly what I felt when I met my husband. Thank you for dancing how you do it. I really sensed what you felt.
You are amazing and it was an amazing site specific performance.
You are as usual awesome, although today I stared at you and the truth is you move me…
