Klaus Jürgens

Choreographer and performer Klaus Jürgens has, for the last ten years, been the artistic director of the Hans Hof Ensemble. Theatrical dance, irony, and compassion for human shortcomings were important themes. As individual theatre maker, Jürgens continues in the theatrical style of the ensemble, albeit with a personal, easily recognizable signature. Aside from in his own work, Jürgens also performs in the works of other dance makers and theatre creatives. In 2009 he appeared in the successful performance Bambie Treize, a coproduction by mime group Bambie and the Hans Hof Ensemble. 

Producties: 

Asa Nisi Masa

Asa Nisi Masa shows a man, beset by unlimited possibilities, who desperately tries to maintain control over his own life. With irony and compassion, choreographer Klaus Jürgens made a new performance about big dreams, little souls, ambition and mediocrity.

Taking the movie Otto e Mezzo (1963) by Frederico Fellini as a point of departure, Jürgens tells the story of a director who has no idea how to go about realizing his film project. He is plagued by his tormented inner world, and by doubts about his ideas and his own existence.

Tot Nut en Genoegen

The Mime theatre group Bambie and choreographer Klaus Jürgens take over the new theatre for a week with two performances and a potentially unforgettable Quick Sketches.

In Tot nut en genoegen, choreographer Klaus Jürgens tries to escape our hurried and two-faced world. Modern man withdraws to far-away places in nature or to a Buddhist monastery; he hugs cows or jumps from a bridge with a long rubber band around his feet.

Recensies: 

“Klaus Jürgens and Peter Cseri build Tot nut en genoegen into a fine wordless dance play in the best tradition of the Hans Hof Ensemble. They are well matched, the little squirt and the big dark oaf Cseri. The latter especially is a discovery. Never before did the Hungarian dancer show himself so at home in the movements of poetic slapstick” (Annette Embrechts de Volkskrant 2006)
