It’s time to shake off what’s holding you back and step into something new. This programme with 2 exhilarating shows takes you from the sweaty underground of New York’s house clubs straight into the raw beauty of human transformation. Plus, no Dutch is needed.
Growing pains: we’ve all dealt with them—if not physically as a child, then mentally. That’s the theme of this spectacular performance by DOX, the Utrecht-based multidisciplinary dance and theatre company that also nurtures emerging talent. They know all about growing pains—and that it makes a compelling story to build a production around. Because growing pains are a dance between vulnerability and strength. Not a path you walk alone, but a journey that connects and looks ahead. The beginning of something truly beautiful.
The scene: music thumping at 120 BPM, in a full warehouse full of sweaty night owls – your eyes closed, letting yourself go completely. House Decoded thrusts you back into the underground clubs of New York. Where house was born and people came to dance to free themselves. From expectations, from boxes, from systems and rules. But because house music became popular, its dance choreographies were pulled into the studio. And there, that free-formed dance was often reduced to a codified state. Vanildo Varela lets us experience again what real house is all about: to move your body.
