Miriam Levy - I Can't Work Under These Conditions
I Can’t Work Under These Conditions is a show is about divas. It tastes like metal, candyfloss and trying to outdo everyone around you.
By emerging choreographer Miriam Levy, this piece takes a witty look at the intersections of confidence and gender expression.
Like a hammer made of sequins, the three dancers explode out of the wings. Different characters fight for the spotlight, each of them here to prove that they are the star of the show.
With arm wrestling, tiaras and a lot of power posing, this bold contemporary dance piece is a riot.
House of Mirth - Portrait of a Wrestler
Two wrestlers fight to dominate the stage in a touching duet that explores the crisis of masculinity at the heart of Professional Wrestling.
Told through the personal testimonies of some of the discipline’s most acclaimed performers, Portrait of a Wrestler takes a closer look at the stagecraft of the form to propose a reading of Professional Wrestling as choreographic practice.
Expect grappling, strikes & chair shots, set to an experimental score by António Sá-Dantas and a choir of singers and trainee wrestlers.
Casper Dillen - Orfeo
One of the great tragedies is that we are capable of imagining great things and yet incapable of achieving them. We don't want to fail. But we probably will and we often have. Orfeo builds on a tradition of depicting the myth of Orpheus as an allegory for ecological and political disaster. The anchor of the piece is Nicolas Poussin’s painting ‘Landscape with Orpheus’. Performed by weightlifters, curators, and volleyball players.
