NDT 2 - Falling into Shadow

Programma

• Johan Inger: WALKING MAD
• Botis Seva: WERELDPREMIÈRE
• Marco Goecke: WIR SAGEN UNS DUNKLES

Moving to the increasingly frantic speed of its score, Walking Mad (2001) takes us through the various stages between madness and violence. With a moving wall at centre stage, Johan Inger illustrates the boundaries we create in our relationships, in our minds, and the fragile barrier between sanity and insanity. Originally created for the dancers of NDT 1, we are excited to now bring it to NDT 2. 

The expressive new work of Botis Seva, founder of his company Far From The Norm, revolves around the unconscious mind. A new voice for NDT, Seva is at home in the realms of hip-hop, physical theatre and contemporary dance, and continuously reinvents his approach to dance and creativity. His experiments with form, structure and theatrics result in an intricate and emotional language of movement.  

In the returning Wir sagen uns Dunkles (2017), associate choreographer Marco Goecke provides a glimpse into the unique world of the studio where choreographer and dancer meet and stories arise from indescribable energies. The work exudes a restless vibration, in which the body is surrendered to intoxicating tremolos, resembling the flutter of butterfly wings, and the audience experiences a sense of both attraction and disquiet.

Part of this programme will be accompanied live by the Dutch Ballet Orchestra.
