Nadita is Spanish for small nothing. Body and voice act as instruments that produce a small nothing.

Music and a musical experimental interpretation of voice are essential elements and a main theme throughout the oeuvre of the Swedish performer Alma Söderberg. That is why she is called the human sound and dance machine.
Alma about Nadita: “I want to work with voice, movement and rhythm. I want to use as little theatrical elements as possible. Actually, none. It is a confirmation of the things I constantly focus on: physical sound and movement.”
Söderberg creates performances where sound and movement are equivalent elements; in her practice, she rediscovers still how much those two are intertwined. In Nadita, therefore, her body and voice are the main instruments to have this small nothing develop.
Music is an essential part in all projects of Alma Söderberg. Alma lives and works in Brussels as a choreographer, performer and musician. After her studies at the SNDO, the section choreography at the Amsterdam University of the Arts, she produced Cosas, Travail, A Talk and Nadita. Together with Hendrik Willekens she created Idioter and was a member of the band John the Houseband.
