Origin

Artistic director Ed Wubbe brings two special international choreographers to the Netherlands for Origin. An exciting performance with influences from Chinese dance, Israeli folk dance and modern dance. The young makers Gong Xingxing and Lior Tavori are still unknown in the Netherlands, but that will soon change.

Gong Xingxing's new dance piece requires a high technical level from the dancers due to the combination of physical control and graceful relaxation. Together with the palpable emotional charge, she manages to firmly hold the viewer's attention. Xingxing belongs to the new generation of choreographers who are successfully bringing modern dance to a larger audience in China.

This also includes the Israeli choreographer Lior Tavori who, in addition to his own company, creates many pieces for Chinese dance companies. Due to the combination of folk dance and modern dance, the pleasure of dancing radiates from his new choreography.
