(S)NOW
two individuals close and intimate in continuous attempt to conquer social distance. An ironic journey, colorfully, childlike contained, revealing the grey grim under the skin
a delirium... a visual world of secret fascinations. Narrative and abstraction are equally represented in a theatricality that is both real and detailed, fictive and grotesque, negating the frontiers between dance, spoken text, theater, reality and technical operation. Song of the Cuckoo portrays the relation between Shakespeare's Hamlet, the human spine and the perception of madness according to Michel Foucault's History of Madness

No I saw a new heaven and new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. (John 21:1-3)
Two people; alone on the planet earth in the act of mourning and rebellion about a vanishing world. A world we are loosing due to our own behavior.
two bodies, one embracement, accumulative, growing, increasing.
mutual thrive for physical proximity
battle against distancing in one moving embracement
physical entanglement on Ravel's Bolero
Two men, playful, tender and explosive. East wants to travel west, West wants to travel east. Encounter in the middle. In pursuit of deep social proximity. Dance theater, martial arts, (live) video and 150 kg rice... two men in search for themselves in the other. A duet based on ethnographic research in Holland and India.
