A man and woman are on stage. Two dancers, two generations. Koen is 32 years old, Alphea is 88. In Journey they probe the borders, push back boundaries in a performance about being here - now; about the strength of the human body. Together they bridge the gap between young and old, and 60 years of dance history, in a balancing act between the wishes and limitations of the human body. Journey brings two generations closer. These two people share a dream: to go on dancing to the end of their days. Koen De Preter wanted to work with an older performer for several years. In the realisation that the elderly are conspicuously under-represented in our society and on stage, he set out to question the modern-day obsession with youth.
