A solo project exploring the limits of the human body and our sensory perception of reality. Balancing between dance and installation, with video, music, and the body as central elements, the performance offers a hypnotic reflection on the burnout of the dancer, society, and the world around us. A club night follows, organized in collaboration with EKKO.
Mood swings, slowed reflexes, dizziness: the various physical and psychological symptoms of burnout gradually infiltrate everyday life. In a world where work makes existence tangible, what can an artist do with this drained state? In this environment, it often seems like continuous production and the accumulation of projects are the keys to satisfaction—yet they lead straight to burnout.
In his solo performance, Viktor Szeri does not hide his apathy. Instead, he draws from his personal experiences and builds his choreography on fatigue, on the desire to do nothing. He explores the creative process and tests the limits and tolerance of his own body through the lens of burnout, while also experimenting with how the audience can connect to this sedated vision.
Prices
fatigue won the 2023 Rudolf Lábán Prize, awarded by the independent performing arts community in Hungary, and was selected for the Aerowaves ‘Twenty24 Artists’ network.

NEAR MISSES
Fotini Stamatelopoulou
At the intersection of spoken word, choreography, and visual installation, NEAR MISSES investigates strategies of defense and resilience, drawing liminal lines between silence and rage, fight and surrender, strength and submission, life and death.
HOT WALK
Keren Levi - NeverLike
An interdisciplinary performance exploring climate change, aging, and parenthood. What if global warming is Earth’s own menopause? How do power, responsibility, and care shift between humankind and Mother Earth? Can you take a walk in the park—on stage—with a friend? A reflection on the transformations shaping both our inner and outer climates.
RUNNER
Ira Brand
RUNNER takes place simultaneously in the theatre and on the streets of Utrecht. It explores the exhaustion of the body, both physically and socio-politically. Why do we value people when they push themselves to the limit? The audience is invited to accompany Ira Brand as she runs outside, searching for a place, knowledge, or perhaps herself.
