FUTUR PROCHE
JAN MARTENS, GOŚKA ISPHORDING, OPERA BALLET VLAANDEREN
Deutsche Erstaufführung
A dance piece about dealing with nature
What will our future look like? There is no clear answer for this, but we can try to form one together. FUTUR PROCHE is an attempt to find a way of expressing our immediate future. Huge challenges such as climate change, epidemics and wars demand that we do something. With FUTUR PROCHE, the choreographer Jan Martens enables us to consider potential alternatives for our world in future: He translates his fascination for the virtuosity of the harpsichord into choreography. In repetitive, fluttering dance, based on daily movements such as skipping and walking, we see a group dance emerging in which individuals increasingly stand out. The dancers of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen represent a driven but close-knit community in an environment that is increasingly under threat. At its centre, the harpsichordist Gośka Isphording performs live, producing powerful rhythms with her lightning-fast fingers. She steers the dance on to exhausting heights. Followed by enlightenment. Are we in a position to achieve collective change?
Produced by Opera Ballet Vlaanderen. Co-produced by Festival d’Avignon, DE SINGEL.
„I want to bring the state of crisis to the stage through a raw, rough, and wild dance.“
