<<PROGRAM FRIDAY 21 APRIL>>
–> Exceeding digital infoxication – Argil & Hassani
Argil and Hassani grew up together in Suriname. They are well known names in the battle scene; by participating yourself, organizing battles and giving workshops. In addition to their own development in dance, they teach at various dance schools. In Exceeding digital infoxication, two humanoids are created to take over the world. They take you into their world full of endless access to (digital) information, which can also lead to infoxication: information stress, which might make you make the wrong decisions.
–> Even Onions Don’t make me cry – Jefta Tanate & Matilde Tommasini
If logic is my reality
Than my brain is my death
If my heart is the truth
Than my world would crumble
If my hate is my drive
Than destruction is my tool
If my adoration is justified
Than my eyes would be deceived
–> What Lies Beneath – ShELFISH
With What Lies Beneath, theater maker Veerle van Overloop denounces the destructive power of limited and simplistic reporting by our media. Through the fusion of a topical theater text with unpolished dance, a penetrating soundscape, live graffiti and video art, What Lies Beneath gets under the skin. A confrontational docu-performance about major wars and atrocities that do not make the news, the twilight zone between fact and fiction.
<<SATURDAY 22 APRIL>>
–> I have lived everywhere but here – Asley & Domenik
Where and when do you feel at home? Can we build a house together regardless of the place? Who decides what this house will be?
I have lived everywhere but here is a nomadic intervention in which a piece of dance floor is rolled out somewhere in the city. Wherever it unfolds, the floor and the inhabitants build a new house for themselves.
–> 3 studies for a self portrait – Simon Bus
A dance performance as a self-portraitSimon has a fascination for ‘the self-portrait’. He has therefore documented his life as a breakdancer in video portraits since his early years. In 2019 he made the solo ‘Self portrait, man on orange floor’. Now he brings the sequel ‘Three studies (for a self portrait)’: a full evening dance performance with three intertwined solos in which he approaches self-portrait art from a dance perspective.
–> Fifty-one/forty-nine – Emma Evelien & Remy Tilburg
A duet about the male and female energy in all of us, and about the changing dominance between the two.Remy Tilburg and Emma Evelien made this duet for the RIDCC Rotterdam International Duet Choreography Competition in 2021. It was selected from over 400 entries from 62 countries and reached the final. It won the Partnering Award of the Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT).
–> Tanten bo t’aki – While you’re here – Faizah Grootens
Tanten bo t’aki is Papiamentu for “while you are here”. With this playful and intimate duet, choreographer Faizah Grootens creates a physical quest for the constantly moving spine and the relationship between synchronicity and individuality. Two people share a personal space, with an undeniable connection. What exists when they are together and who are they individually? In constant infinite movements, the two dancers wave through the performance. But in the end they are not alone, you are there too.
