Founded in 1978 for the youngest dancers of Nederlands Dans Theater, NDT2, are adored by audiences and critics alike, and heralded around the world for their superb skill and sharp, sexy style.I Jirl Kylián]’s achievements in dance are hailed around the world and this is the UK premiere of his most recent work for NDT2,
27’52". The title refers to the precise duration of the piece and it is an exaltation of the dancers’ talents. "The breathtaking intensity of
27’52" makes every second fascinating"- Handelsblad. Large spotlights shift through the dark space casting shadows, texts convey a gamut of emotions and the dance floor undulates, splits and shelters the dancers as they struggle to hold on. Johan Inger’s
Dream Play is a feast for the eyes, a fantastical and dramatic sequence set to Stravinsky's
Rite of Spring. Birds tweet, bees hum, a shopping bag a kilt and a lampshade spark a violent frenzy, one dancer disappears, another is rescued and it all ends with a startling gunshot.
