10 x Dans & Performance

Bij Frascati vieren we de veelzijdigheid en vernieuwing van dans en performance. De komende weken staan in het teken van grensverleggende voorstellingen die beweging, technologie en persoonlijke verhalen verweven. Elke voorstelling biedt een unieke kijk op hoe we als mens navigeren in een snel veranderende wereld, of dat nu via dromen, rituelen, of diepgaande ontmoetingen gebeurt.

Hier zijn 10 onvergetelijke ervaringen waar taal geen barrière is, maar juist een uitnodiging om mee te gaan op reis.

vanishing acts - Felix Schellekens / Nicole Beutler Projects
In vanishing acts, Felix Schellekens reflects on those fleeting moments when the impermanence of life becomes undeniable. Everything is destined to fade—our surroundings shift, we transform, and everything we try to hold onto eventually slips through our fingers. How do we learn to embrace the solitude that comes with knowing nothing ever stays the same?

The Bone Algorithm - Amos Ben-Tal / OFFprojects, Gosse de Kort & Salvador Breed
The space moves the dancers, their movement generates sound, the sound redesigns the space.... The result is a delicate interplay of cause and effect, but who is the instrument and who is the player? The Bone Algorithm is an interdisciplinary performance with a kinetic installation that produces music through the movement of the dancers.

Trying to get cozy in the dark dark void - FADAT
Two beings exist in a green void. This void, a hideous expanse of nothingness, stretches infinitely in every direction, leaving them unsure if they occupy all of it or none of it at all. The boundaries of their being seem to blur, as they feel an overwhelming connection to all that was, all that is, and all that ever will be. Anything could happen because nothing ever will. In the void, danger is looming because nothing touches them.
The Oracle: Ritual for the Future - Victorine van Alphen
In an immersive landscape of screens and modern rituals, the viewer is enticed to engage with both (bizarre) everyday practices and far-reaching visions of the future, where artificial intelligence and robots redefine our sensuality.

PEEKABOO - Maxime Dreesen
PEEKABOO is a vision in which the world is a sex playground. This universe depicts new ways of contact through cruising: seeking fleeting, sexual contacts in the open air. Theatre maker Maxime Dreesen approaches this phenomenon as getting lost in a web of experimental relationships and unexpected encounters.
Listening to the Planets - Ari Teperberg
I am listening to The Planets (1917), a monumental orchestral piece by the British composer Gustav Holst. Can you hear it through me? It transforms into words, images, movement. I try to listen even deeper and hear the artist writing it, navigating a brutal war to which he did not enlist. His music turns on stage into matter in motion - it orbits, gets distorted, disappears and reappears.

The End - Part 2 - Arno Schuitemaker
Multidisciplinary dance performance with a future-oriented vision.Blending movement, electronic music, light, and video, The End – part 2 immerses itself in questions of togetherness, solidarity, and belonging within an increasingly digital and fragmented society. How do we perceive each other as our identities grow more transparent? What do we share in a culture where so much feels exposed? When does our presence become real?
