An Eco-Futuristic Symphony

© Reinout Bos

NOW WE ARE EARTH is a grand future vision of choreographer and theater maker Nicole Beutler. Music, dance, choir, and audience unite in this eco-futuristic symphony, creating a sense of greater harmony. With 8 dancers and singers, accompanied by a city choir of 45 voices, this 100-minute piece becomes a vibrant convergence of sound and movement, offering a glimpse into a dream of a possible future.

The piece explores the theme of interconnectedness, seeking balance across five realms: animals, humans, plants, fungi, and technology.

NOW WE ARE EARTH promises to be a total artwork, a dance opera featuring a local city choir, with a key role for the audience. Drawing inspiration from the intricate, interconnected threads of a mycelium, the performers weave a multi-layered, resonating tapestry of colors and sounds, unfolding in endlessly branching and repeating patterns.

Unique Dance Personality Lucinda Childs

© Introdans Pieter Henket

Choreographer Lucinda Childs is the queen of minimal dance. She will be 85 years old in 2025, and Introdans is celebrating this with the focus programme ICON, a tribute to the ‘grand old lady’ of American dance. This evening the audience will experience a (time) journey that starts with Interior Drama from 1977, new for the Dutch audience, past the pieces Kilar, Petricor and Concerto that Introdans has danced before, and ends with a world premiere of her latest work: Notes of Longing.

Childs’ movement idiom is absolutely unique: taking an abstract, almost mathematical approach she uses relatively simple ballet and athletic movements to create amazingly complex masterpieces. The bond between Childs and Introdans can also be called unique, there is no company in the world that dances so much of her work. Introdans has a rich oeuvre of existing and new work by Lucinda Childs. With ICON it underlines this special bond.

The choreographies Kilar, Petricor and Concerto are accompanied live in a number of theatres by the National Youth Orchestra led by Jurjen Hempel. Notes of Longing will then also be accompanied live by composer / pianist Matteo Myderwyk.

Between Pastoral Satire
and Bestiary Dream

© Bart Grietens

In the piece GOATS by French/Luxembourgian duo Sarah Baltzinger + Isaiah Wilson, the performers are immersed in a hallucinatory world, in between pastoral satire and bestiary dream. GOATS unfolds in an absurd, Kafkaesque universe, where Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of «becoming-animal» serves as a lens to explore contemporary alienation. On stage, the performers embody hybrid beings—half-human, half-goat—reflecting a world in which they can no longer find their place. Their only escape lies in metamorphosis, a shift toward animality that unveils humanity’s desperate search for relief from the relentless cruelty of its surroundings.

This journey takes place within a scenography that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. A surreal landscape of grass dominates the stage, evoking a pastoral kingdom both idyllic and oppressive. It is a space suspended between the sacred and the playful, where the rules of ritual and the discipline of games intersect. Viewers are left to wonder: is this a prison, a human zoo, a stadium, or a fantastical world ? This ambiguity underscores the disciplinary nature of the space, which confines the performers within its surreal boundaries while shaping their identities and actions.

THE Urgent Dance Trilogy

© Rahi Rezvani

Pite and McBurney were transfixed when they saw each other’s work. But it was the ecological theme with which they found common cause. “Straight away we decided we wanted to make something centred on the climate crisis,” says Pite. “Which is not,” stresses McBurney, “separable from human crisis. We are all inescapably part of this living world.”

Sanjoy Roy (The Guardian)

We are living in an age of extinction. Can we ever hope to give a name to what we are losing? What does it mean to bear witness to a violence in which we are both perpetrator and victim? 

Across continents, choreographer Crystal Pite and Complicité Artistic Director Simon McBurney have exchanged ideas reflecting on their fears and cautious hopes for our age. Their process has drawn on a rich and surprising array of source materials: from the sound of ice caps melting to the clarion calls of climate change deniers, from scholastic lectures on the neuroscience of the brain to the cacophonous clatter of Instagram influencers.

Over a span of four years, the two world-renowned artists have created three works together for NDT 1, each developed in response to the last. Figures in Extinction [1.0] confronts us with everything that is dying on our planet, while [2.0] is a searing examination of our need for connection in a separated world. The third and final work will continue this cross-disciplinary exchange, making its world premiere in the UK in February 2025, and will offer a spark in the darkness as to where we – collectively, spiritually, and imaginatively – might go next.
