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.

A Hallucinatory Odyssey

© Dunja Jocić (website)

A powerful dance creation that prompts questions about new social hierarchies and interpersonal relationships in the virtual world.

Gli Stati Generali

In We, Us and Other Games, Jocić reflects on the ongoing digitalization of the human experience. A father searches for his daughter in a digital world called “The Living Project”, gradually losing his grip on reality. The performance, presented by an ensemble of eight dancers from the renowned Spellbound Contemporary Ballet of Rome, takes you on a hallucinatory odyssey through the digital subconscious, encountering androgynous insect armies, secret societies, masked parties, and a choir of children performing an ominous ritual dance.
