GRIMM ⁸⁺

Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and her seven dwarfs: they all pass by in GRIMM, a performance by ISH Dance Collective and the Junior Company of Het Nationale Ballet. This energetic and imaginative performance for young and old proves that hip hop and ballet are a golden duo. Don't miss it!

Fantasy world

Through a video game, two brothers end up in a fantasy world, where they meet various fairytale characters from the famous stories of the GRIMM brothers. In the game, they encounter an evil witch who tries to gain power over four kingdoms. The witch only succeeds if he manages to link four handsome princes to Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel. Of course, the brothers are happy to help put a stop to that.

Stunning pirouettes and head spins

The video projections make everything seem possible in GRIMM: a fruity spring forest changes in no time into an ominous witch's forest. In it, the dancers show what they are good at: dizzying pirouettes, impressive jumps, jerky popping-and-locking movements and astonishing head spins.

Cooperation

The revival GRIMM is one of three joint productions by Marco Gerris and Ernst Meisner, the artistic directors of hip-hop dance collective ISH Dance Collective and the Junior Company of Het Nationale Ballet respectively. According to them, the fact that their backgrounds are completely different is precisely their strength. Ernst Meisner: “By using different dance styles, the possibilities only become greater”.
