NDT 2 presents The beauty of it all, striking the ultimate balance between honoring NDT’s legacy and its rich repertoire, while creating space for new artistic voices that provide the company with surprising perspectives. On tour from March 14 until May 2.
After the success of Bourgeois’ first collaboration with the company called Little song for NDT 2 in 2019, Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) is very pleased to present his newest and first NDT 1 piece I wonder where the dreams I don’t remember go. This work premieres on December 3, 2020 in NDT’s own house, the Lucent Danstheater in The Hague.
Yoann Bourgeois (France) is a choreographer, dancer, acrobat and magician. He founded his Compagnie Yoann Bourgeois in 2010. Bourgeois’ works strongly depict his fascination with gravity, often through installations that defy the forces of physical strength. In 2016, Bourgeois became codirector of the CCN2 – Centre Chorégraphique National de Grenoble. In season 2019-2020, Bourgeois created his first work for NDT 2, Little song.
The work by Bourgeois is an entanglement of disciplines that connects choreography, dance, acrobatics and magic. His movements, albeit dynamic and an exploration of the constraints of one’s physical forces, are counterbalanced by an indistinguishable precision and execution. I wonder where the dreams I don’t remember go is his first collaboration with the dancers of NDT 1.
In the programme booklet (below) you will find a foreword by artistic director Emily Molnar, a text by choreographer Yoann Bourgeois about his I wonder where the dreams I don’t remember go, the credits of the ballet and an overview of all NDT 1 dancers.
