In the 2026–2027 season, we continue our journey, grounded in curiosity, openness, and risk, creating works with courage while never losing sight of who we are.
From 26 March, NDT 2 presents I dreamt, it was. Featuring a world premiere by associate choreographers Imre van Opstal and Marne van Opstal, alongside the groovy SAABA (2021) by Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar in a version specially adapted for NDT 2. Irresistible!
“Before we all get to the knowing, all will be gone.”
– Benjamin Clementine
We’re thrilled to present the first full-length evening by our new associate choreographer Marcos Morau. This world premiere invites you to fully explore Morau’s imaginative space between contemporary dance and physical theatre. Inspired by the music and life of renowned composer Benjamin Clementine, the work urges us not to lose the connection with ourselves or each other.
“We live in an era that moves faster than we can truly take in. And sometimes I feel that, at that speed, something essential slips through our fingers; meaning, attention, the ability to feel without being pulled away. This piece begins there.”
Marcos Morau
Morau is known for his visually striking worlds that feel surreal yet human. In earlier creations for NDT, including Folkå (2021) and Horses (2024), he blends abstract movement with dramaturgical detail to create bold images that linger in the imagination.
In his new work, created in collaboration with the NDT 1 dancers, Morau presents a theatrical experience where the evocative music of Benjamin Clementine is part of the atmosphere. Each song opens a door to a world that accelerates, splinters, and watches itself without rest. Loneliness, loss, and the need to belong manifest in the dancers’ bodies, not as private stories, but as something shared.
At its core, this creation reaches for something simple and urgent: closeness.
Morau imagines the stage as a shared ritual, holding the belief that, while the music lasts, we can still be together and connect, even when our reality seems to say otherwise.
