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.

A Minimalist NDT

Christos Papadopoulos’ new work explores our subtle, everyday social connections, revealing the beauty within the most profound connections that often go unnoticed. Drawing from the unadorned fabric of the human experience, the choreographer illustrates the simplicity of shared moments: the unspoken understanding between friends, silent nods of solidarity among strangers, and the quiet resilience threaded through collective struggles.

A new voice for NDT, the Greek-born choreographer favours a minimalist and precise language of movement. Through small gestures that belie an intense physicality, Papadopoulos has created an ode to the power of invisible forces and transports the audience to a mysterious space in which there is neither beginning nor end.

About Dance and Censorship

© Bas de Brouwer

This is not a dance forces you to reflect on the foundations of dance, in definition and effect.

Iris Spanbroek

In Iran, dancing has been officially prohibited since the start of the Islamitic Revolution. All dance companies have been forced to cease their activities. Many dancers and choreographers have fled abroad. Those who still live there have to be very resourceful. How are they keeping their art form alive? Theatre maker Nastaran Razawi Khorasani presents the performance This is not a dance a dance performance that deals with censorship. What can be shown, what must remain hidden? As the music and lights build towards a frenzy, Nastaran attempts to keep her dancing body in check.
