Hear The Silence

schermafbeelding-2025-02-17-om-17.43.00-1739810800.jpg

Hear The Silence explores the need for embrace in times of disruption.
The starting point is the waltz, once a symbol of European refinement as a music and a dance, but in the 20th century shaken by underlying tensions.
Seven dancers and a musician revisit the waltz and deconstruct the dance form.
In search of collective resilience through a reconstruction with old debris, new compositions and parallels with the present emerge. Hear the Silence is a contemporary plea for dance and music as a form of resistance and connection in uncertain times.
