THE EDGE OF THINGS – NDT 2

In The Edge of Things, we showcase the next generation of dance artists. Ethan Colangelo creates his first world premiere for NDT 2. The new creation of our new associate choreographer Jermaine Spivey challenges dancers and audiences with his talent for improvisation, spontaneity, and structure. We also revisit Alexander Ekman’s FIT (2018), full of humour, wit, and absurdity.

RESONANCE – NDT 1

RESONANCE celebrates bold, thought-provoking, and iconic works from acclaimed makers that are close to our heart. In Mémoires d’Oubliettes (2009), Jiří Kylián explores the nature of memory. Associate choreographer Crystal Pite takes you back to her chilling and satirical boardroom drama The Statement (2016). We also revisit the evocative Woke up Blind (2016) by associate choreographer Marco Goecke, with its soul-wrenching score by Jeff Buckley.
