In Out of the stillness, NDT 1 celebrates creative versatility with two exciting and outspoken makers. They reprise Gabriela Carrizo's The missing door (2013), a compelling work where dance and theater merge in ominous ways. Also returning to NDT is Hofesh Shechter for a world premiere; his fourth creation for NDT.

The missing door
Situated in an ominous, domestic space that slowly deforms, the boundaries between reality and illusion blur. Everyday actions transform into oppressive situations, where the emotional cracks in the personages take on ever larger forms. Carrizo shares, "The work shows a no man's land where reality and fantasy become increasingly intertwined. A place where the last minutes of a life become visible, hovering between life and death."

Hofesh Shechter
After the successful revival of audience favorite Clowns (2016) in 2024, choreographer Hofesh Shechter is back with us for a raw and daring world premiere. Shechter is known for works that expose what lurks beneath the surface, both within ourselves and the world around us. The friction between identity, the perception of our minds and our bodies is often a common thread here. In his new work for NDT 1, dreamlike scenes unfold alongside sudden snippets of reality, with the dancers testing their physical limits. "Your mind is a flickering light that has forgotten its source, where thoughts collide and contradict each other," says Shechter. Grand yet intimate, full of intense physical abandon and pulsating music, this work promises to be a surrealistic journey that draws you in completely.

  • With free introduction before the performance at 19.15h
