Description

Nederlands Dans Theater II (16 dancers) was founded in 1978 for dancers between 17and 22. Alongside ballets by Hans van Manen and Jiri Kylián, much work by young choreographic talent is performed. As a true pioneer, the ensemble is constantly striving to give more room to new and brave initiatives. Nederlands Dans Theater II is a top-quality, internationally recognized company with some of the world’s brightest young talent.

Programme

1. Minus 16 - Ohad Naharin Minus16 is a phenomenal work for all dancers of Nederlands Dans Theater IIset to a thrilling musical compilation of cha-cha, mambo and traditional Israeli music. This choreography came about by putting together sections of previous works of Naharin: Zachacha, Anaphase,Sabotage Baby and Moshe.

‘…Minus 16 swings and is full of fun…’ Astrid van Leeuwen, Algemeen Dagblad

‘…It’s an orgie of dazzling, swinging and ecstatic dance…’ ‘…Minus 16 is an absolute hit for Nederlands Dans Theater II…’ Ine Rietstap, NRC Handelsblad

1. Sleepless - Jiri Kylian JiriKylian has already made many masterpieces, one of them the fascinating Sleepless, a creation for six young dancers in which the set plays an important part. It has a wall behind which dancers – or sometimes just parts of their bodies – appear, disappear and return. The set allows unexpected entrances or creates hallucinating images of heads which in a grotesque way do not appear to go with the bodies.

2. Dream Play - Johan Inger With Dream Play Johan Inger created an abstract yet narrative ballet to Stravinsky’s “Le Sacre du Printemps”. He gives a new perspective to the heavily charged story of the ritual spring sacrifice by reducing it toa daydream inspired by a fleeting encounter between the *es. What follows the meeting is a wish-fulfillment dream, an erotic and sometimes aggression-tinged game for four men and two women, in which the dancers occasionally have rough-handed contact with the inventive stage set.
