The End - part 2

The hyperphysical and immersive work of Arno Schuitemaker

What do solidarity, connection, and togetherness mean at this moment? What brings us closer to each other? How can mutual transparency strengthen interaction?

With an intriguing mix of movement, music, light, and video, The End - part 2 explores a world of shifting relationships: between the three performers, between the performers and video, between live and pre-recorded. The performance blurs the distinction between seeing and being seen and feels like a collection of short stories where energy, stillness, sensitivity, distortion, and longing confront and meet each other. The performers show different sides of themselves and, eventually, dissolve physical boundaries—even in opposition, our individual spaces can be shared. 

Arno Schuitemaker is known for captivating performances. Whether you call it dance, performance, or an experience, it is world-class. His productions have been seen in more than 25 countries. 30 appearances out of darkness was hailed as the “must-see of the year” by Scènes, and The Way You Sound Tonight won the Swan, the award for most impressive dance production.

He also worked with composer Aart Strootman and lighting designer Jean Kalman, with whom he previously created the successful productions The Way You Sound Tonight and 30 appearances out of darkness.
