RUNNER
Ira Brand / Frascati Producties
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.
Overal Iemand Altijd
Wouter van Veldhoven & Guiot Duermeijer
An piercing performance with words and soundscapes, experienced with headphones at Utrecht Central Station. The work explores the inner struggle of a young neurodiverse woman and the invisible norms of our society. How do you stay true to yourself and hold your ground in this whirlwind of social codes?
Laborious Walk
Ely Daou
For six consecutive hours each day, Ely Daou walks in loops through various locations in the public space of Utrecht, engaging in one-on-one conversations with passersby in English, French, Spanish or Arabic. You can listen in through headphones, experiencing moments of connection, (dis)connection, isolation, and the ever-shifting rhythm of the city.
Dubbelspoor
Beppie Blankert Dansconcerten
Beppie Blankert reconstructs, reinterprets and dances her legendary performance together with Caroline Dokter after 40 years. Louis Andriessen composed and played the music. A choreographic encounter is created on a text by Samuel Beckett, stretched between reality and dream, expectation and resignation. The analogue stage design shows a mirrored world, a game of reality and illusion.
last portrait
ashleyho+domeniknaue
A performance within an installation, somewhere between a garden, a hospital, and a graveyard. Two young people intertwine the lives of their families. Amidst an archive of personal documents collected over the years, they navigate the landscape of loss.
While Taking Shape
Amparo González Sola
How much of what happens in one body is connected to what happens in another? Through a choreography that frames the space between performers and audience and focuses on small gestures, this performance invites us to reconsider the dynamics of gaze, distance, and proximity, and the role they play in spaces where we observe.
The Liminal
Alaa Minawi
This interactive installation explores the space between different worlds: the past, the present, and possible futures. Inspired by Arab Futurism, a movement that imagines future scenarios from Arab perspectives, it addresses themes like isolation and parallel worlds, where people regroup and create new realities. During IDFA 2024, the work-in-progress version won the Film Fund DocLab Interactive Grant.
