.Ball

By Guilherme Miotto

Growing up in Tilburg Noord as a small boy, Nasser becomes addicted to the ball. Long days they spend together, he and the ball. In 2016, choreographer Guilherme Miotto and Nasser el Jackson met.

Guilherme falls in love with Nasser's exceptional personality and movement quality - a wonderful combination of charisma, service, elegance and virtuosity. He decides to create a full-length solo for the Tilburg ball wizard who also acts as ambassador street football for the KNVB.

As in his earlier work, Miotto unfolds in .Ball the vital drive, disarming strength and unyielding tenderness of a body that wants to survive.
