BOUGE B 2014 / do 24 apr 2014

You may have seen Judith Sánchez Ruíz at work in deSingel before, in a production by Trisha Brown. Now she is our guest with her own work, a duet she made with Edivaldo Ernesto. For this piece both the dancers sought out their roots. She is from Cuba, he is from Mozambique. In addition to differences, they also discovered strikingly similar qualities in their cultures of origin. 'There is a name for it' is the result of the artistic exchanges between two absolutely first-rate dancers and their shared quest for what dance today actually means, across the boundaries of culture. It is a duet full of power, vitality and fire. Judith Sánchez Ruíz started her dance training in Havana at the age of eleven. She now lives in Berlin, where she has been a member of the Sasha Waltz Company since 2012. Edivaldo Ernesto has been a member of that same company since 2007. He initially trained in traditional Mozambican dance. Your ticket admits you to all the performances on that one evening.

Cecilia Bengolea & François Chaignaud
Altered natives' say yes to another excess -Twerk
21u30 / Theaterstudio

Cecilia Bengolea and François Chaignaud have been visiting clubs all over the world since they were teenagers. Initially they were just 'going out', but their passion and fascination gradually developed into a study. They mastered the different dance movements and styles that they came across. Drum 'n bass, jungle, dubstep, reggae, bashement, house, voguing, Jamaican dancehall, krump, and split and jump were all gradually added to their palette of movements. You can now see the result of all this at BOUGE B. Together with three other dancers, this Argentine-French duo challenged themselves to trust in dance as an expressive, poetic and subconscious force, going beyond its usual associations,. They supplemented their working process with a study of 'grime music', a genre that arose in East London in about 2000. Grime combines, mixes and transforms existing sounds from dancehall, hiphop and UK garage. Two grime DJs will join them on stage and fill the room with highly infectious grooves.
