Score for a performance by Knot on Hands, Felix Zech, Marta & Kim

After Engel and Our Arms Grew Together, dance/circus duo Marta & Kim commissioned me for another project, this time collaborating with Felix Hess and the trio Knot on Hands. Lighting designer Loes Schakenbos is working her magic again, too.

Press text:

In Meander five circus and dance artists weave a visual landscape. They slide and climb over and under each other, soar into the heights or intertwine into one body. Like a new river finding its course, or like a flock of birds migrating as one body, this is how Meander was created. In this continuum of movement and rhythm, the performers highlight their mutual trust despite the frictions and fractures between each other.

Meander is an ode to the process, to our constantly changing view of how we experience each other and our surroundings. By breaking free from traditional lines of hierarchy and positions of power, the five performers create a space where each moment can bring a new discovery, a new question, or a new insight.

After numerous crossovers, partner acrobats Knot on Hands, Felix Zech and the duo Marta & Kim join forces in the performance Meander. Together they won the BNG Bank dance and circus award three times, were selected for Aerowaves, CircusNext, were nominated for the Prijs van de Nederlandse Dansdagen and performed their own work more than 350 times at home and abroad.

Meander premieres 24 & 25 October 2024, Circolo, Tilburg. Tickets and info
