junges tanzhaus · German Premiere
ECCE / Claire Croizé , The Round
Nine children between the ages of 9 to 13 whirl around on stage like a living horde – at times loud, at times wild, at times playful. From dance, percussion, breath, and animal noises emerge thrilling rituals, processions, and parades, full of energy and group dynamics. All the while, the audience is seated in a circle, near to the performers, and becomes a part of this pulsating community. Choreographer Claire Croizé combines collective power with the young dancers’ individual stories and idiosyncrasies – a celebration of youth, movement, and untamed vigour.
Co-production: Kanal-Centre Pompidou Brussels, Molenbeek for Brussels 2030, Het Lab Hasselt, Perpodium, Ultima Vez; Residencies: Ultima Vez, Kunstencentrum Buda, La Raffinerie-Charleroi-danse, Rosas/Dancingkids; with thanks to: C-Takt +, Decoratelier, Katrien Van Aerschot and Rosas/Dancingkids.
