Freedom is a dancer

Maas theater and dance - Maaspodium

World-class ballet dancer Vincenzo Turiano dances a remix of roles in a dazzling light and theatre show in which you are introduced to their dynamic identity. In this debut performance, the dancer tells a moving story about freedom and vulnerability in dance, comedy, light show, music, and spectacular costumes.

For Vincenzo, the love of dance and theatre began in their mother and father's wardrobe. The closet was a playground where you could become anything. Dancing was a way to discover yourself. But the costume workshops of (classical) ballet were different. The choreographies were made for either men or women. The costumes began to feel like a suit of armour.

In Freedom is a Dancer, the non-binary dancer breaks free from all these expectations. Dancing, Vincenzo tears the tight uniform off. Then they transform into a naked, dying swan, dance on pointe in a mirror suit that reflects everything, and proudly display a multi-coloured, four-metre-high peacock tail. Spectacular light projections take you into a playful world full of imagination. In dance and comedy, Vincenzo tells their personal story of pain, passion, and resilience. The dancer's courage to remain a free person in this day and age is inspiring. A guaranteed party!

This performance features a mix of English and Dutch, but is primarily dance.
