Lived Fiction
How do you tell a personal story without words? In Lived Fiction, the British dance company Stopgap Dance Company presents an impressive and innovative dance performance about identity, connection and the power of movement. During the No Limits Festival at Theater aan het Spui in The Hague, seven dancers, both with and without disabilities, demonstrate that dance is for everyone.
A unique dance performance about inclusion and connection
In this unique performance, personal experiences are brought to life through dance, movement and spoken word. Each performer tells a story in their own way about life, relationships with others and the meaning of dance. From moving solos and intimate duets to powerful group choreographies: Lived Fiction shows how differently people can experience the world.
With Lived Fiction, Stopgap Dance Company demonstrates how accessibility and artistic freedom come together. The performance consists of two parts in which humour, emotion and surprising dance movements alternate. The seven performers each bring their own talent, background and experiences to the stage.
The performance has been developed by deaf, neurodivergent and other creators, both with and without disabilities. Under the direction of choreographer Lucy Bennett, an innovative dance production has been created in which differences are not hidden, but are instead an integral part of the artistic power.
Accessible dance at the No Limits Festival
Lived Fiction is part of the No Limits Festival, which focuses on inclusive performing arts and accessibility. The performance offers various facilities, including English audio description and Dutch and English surtitles. For visitors with a visual impairment, there is a special pre-performance Touch Tour, during which they can familiarise themselves with the performance.
