Cullberg Ballet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cullberg Ballet (in Swedish: Cullbergbaletten) is a popular Swedish ballet company.

It was founded by the modern dancer and pioneer choreographer Birgit Cullberg in 1967. After Cullberg's retirement in 1985 the company was for many years run by her son, the popular Swedish dancer and choreographer Mats Ek (in 1985-93).

Since 2003 Cullbergbaletten is managed by choreographer Johan Inger.

The Cullberg Ballet is part of Riksteatern. It toures both nationally and internationally, and is the most popular dance company in Sweden.
