Venue: International Theater: Grote Zaal, Amsterdam

Superbly balanced double bill comprising Kill Your Darlings and SAABA which highlighted the talents of the young dancers of Nederlands Dans Theater 2.

Wildsong presents a refreshing take on contemporary movement rooted in classical technique while revisiting a recent conceptual work of much acclaim, both performed by artists at the peak of their physical prowess.

The Dutch National's Junior company dazzled in three new works and a Balanchine classic, showcasing the stars of tomorrow.

Nederlands Dans Theater 1’s new triple bill premieres Imre Van Opstal and Marne Van Opstal's Take Root alongside works by Sharon Eyal, Gai Behar and Crystal Pite. 

Shut Eye (Lightfoot & León) is like an alternating current. Woke Up Blind (Goecke) is entertaining and vulnerable. Pite's work hits the rythmic nail on the head. You want to freeze-frame Pite's dancers, snap a picture and hang it on the wall.

In the future features exciting works by Juanjo Arques and Hans van Manen, and is the most exciting programme by the Junior Company so far.

Tommaso Traetta’s Antigona is given a powerful staging, although not all the voices proved big enough for its mythical subject.

Newcomers Imre van Opstal and Marne van Opstal present their first work alongside established choreographers as Sol Leon and Paul Lightfoot. A programme where new and old, humoristic and dark meet.
