I dreamt, it was

Following The Point Being (2023), we are excited to welcome back Imre van Opstal & Marne van Opstal—now as our new associate choreographers—to create a work for NDT 2.
Since their departure from NDT 1 as dancers and the start of their choreographic journey, the siblings have established themselves as distinct makers with a raw and emotional style.
In this world premiere, the choreographic duo will examine how spaces can liberate us, yet also impose limits. Through striking design and their expressive movement language, they explore how we see ourselves—both powerful and significant, yet small in the vastness of the world. We are proud to continue this creative journey with them and look forward to all we will create together.

The worlds that Sharon Eyal & Gai Behar create on stage are truly unique—intoxicating and deeply immersive. In I dreamt, it was you’re invited to step into the universe of SAABA (2021). Originally created for GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, we’re thrilled to bring this acclaimed work to NDT 2 for the first time in a bold new version. Exuding passion and vulnerability, the work unfolds through hypnotic movement, evocative lighting, and the irresistible groove of composer Ori Lichtik. SAABA is another brilliant example of Eyal's daring choreographic voice, seamlessly transforming classical ballet and contemporary dance into something beyond imagination. Irresistible!
