Hitshow Hush is back!
How do you find comfort and courage to face the world? In Hush, The Dancers seek the answer in paying attention to each other.
Hush is a dance concert in which dance and live music go hand in hand, as equal counterparts. The rhythm is determined by attention. Very precisely listening and watching the other. A drummer sharply follows the turn of a dancer. Three bodies and three voices move synchronously across the stage. Such details are the starting point of Hush, which grows with increasing energy and abandon into a compelling dance and music storm.
Dancers fly and catch each other in acrobatic partner work and also pick up instruments. Piano sounds and drum rhythms churn like the sea and the musicians themselves roll on the floor. The players sing of their attempt to keep their heads above water in poetic lyrics. ‘Fly like a bird in a hurricane,’ it sounds. And also, ‘Carried by these hands I trust, I'm floating to that mountaintop’. Hush ends like a hurricane, but never slacking on each other.
De Dansers (Dutch for ‘The Dancers’) are a dynamic band of dancers and musicians based in Utrecht. They are led by choreographer/dancer Josephine van Rheenen and composer/musician Guy Corneille. The collective is known for their 'dance concerts': organic gatherings of energetic modern dance and live music. Performances by De Dansers tell easy-to-grasp, intuitively told stories about liberation and surrender, peppered with a pinch playful anarchism. To break free from that which stifles or oppresses a human being.
De Dansers hope to inspire notions of physicality and personal connection, especially in a society increasingly witnessed on screens. The collective creates works that move both young and old.
