Even Worse

By Guilherme Miotto

At Even Worse choreographer Guilherme Miotto puts three of the most notable dancers from the urban and contemporary dance world in a theatrical setting. Shane Boers, Simon Bus and Evangelos Biskas, three budding dancers from diverse backgrounds: from cutting edge breakdance, experimental hip-hop to contemporary dance. In Even Worse fuse all those styles into a new, penetrating language.

We see three young men in the virtuosity of their motor skills, in the casual yet tense nature of their togetherness, wrestling with their individual obsessions and fears. Lifted by the dynamism of their sense of community, they create heroic images through which they repeatedly test themselves and each other. Struggling between resistance and surrender, they organise escape upon escape. Undiluted energy translated into pure physicality. Sometimes exuberant, sometimes painful, sometimes sad, but always breath-taking.
