Imre van Opstal & Marne van Opstal - World premiere
Sharon Eyal & Gai Behar - SAABA - NDT premiere
Following The Point Being (2023), we are delighted to welcome our new associate choreographers Imre van Opstal & Marne van Opstal to NDT 2 for a world premiere. Since leaving NDT as dancers and starting their careers as choreographers, the sister and brother have managed to distinguish themselves as outspoken creators with a raw and emotional style. In their new creation, they explore how spaces affect our minds: how a space can liberate us, but also limit us. With distinct décor and their intriguing movement language, they hold up a mirror to us: that sometimes we can feel big and invincible, but at the same time small and puny in relation to the rest of the world. We are proud to continue our creative adventure with them and look forward to all the beautiful things we will create together.
The worlds Sharon Eyal & Gai Behar create on stage can be called unique, intoxicating and intensely compelling. In I dreamt, it was you are invited to step into the universe of SAABA (2021). This beloved work was created for Gothenburg'sOperansDanskompani, but NDT 2 now presents it in its own revamped version. SAABA exudes passion and vulnerability, seducing with hypnotic movements, spherical lighting design and composer Ori Lichtik's irresistible groove. This work is a powerful example of Eyal's genius and idiosyncratic voice, with which she fuses classical ballet and contemporary dance into something supernatural. Irresistible!
With free supporting act at 19:15h.
