Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and her seven dwarfs: they all pass by in GRIMM, a performance by ISH Dance Collective and the Junior Company of the Dutch National Ballet. This energetic and imaginative performance for young and old proves that hip-hop and ballet are a golden duo. Don't miss it!

Fantasy world
Through a video game, two brothers end up in a fantasy world, where they meet various fairytale characters from the famous stories of the GRIMM brothers. In the game, they encounter an evil witch who tries to take control of four kingdoms. The witch will only succeed if he manages to match four handsome princes to Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel. Of course, the brothers gladly lend a hand to put a stop to that.

Stunning pirouettes and head spins
The video projections in GRIMM make anything seem possible: a fruity spring forest turns into an ominous witch forest in no time. In it, the dancers show what they are good at: dizzying pirouettes, impressive jumps, jerky popping-and-locking movements and stunning head spins.

Collaboration
The reprise GRIMM is one of the now three joint productions by Marco Gerris and Ernst Meisner, the artistic directors of hip-hop dance collective ISH Dance Collective and the Junior Company of the Dutch National Ballet, respectively. The fact that their backgrounds are completely different is precisely their strength, according to them. Ernst Meisner: "Using diverse dance styles only increases the possibilities."
