Choreographer Arno Schuitemaker's hyper-physical performances always make an overwhelming impression and are praised for the inventive forms he creates with themes where the intimate meets the universal. In his latest performance After After, the performers break a lance for the power of the attempt. The stage is their playing space, their body is their instrument, their versatility is their key.        

Hyperphysical and enchanting, the performances of Arno Schuitemaker manage tooverwhelm in an unique way. They are full-on tripswhere dance, performance, visualart, and club culture impressively converge. After After presents a world in transition, inspired bya question from one of today’smost relevant philosophers, Federico Campagna: “How can we help the creation of newworlds out of the ruins of our own?”With the near expiration date of Western modernity in sight, After After delves into theexploration of how we can create new worlds. Seeking their own voice and way of moving through the world, Arno Schuitemaker andseven dancers present a transforming community. Together, they unfold a fascinatingplayground where they reorganize their mutual relationships, our connection to the rhythm of time, and thereby the world around. After After is an ode to the attempt. The performance is like a physical score thatembraces its own end: it dies from within, and then gives new life in the form of anurgent prayer

 

After After, his latest production, has oncemore been met with great enthusiasm: 
"After After hypnotizes.'' (Het Parool)
Flow, the generation of energy, and the immersion in a physical experience (...) It’sexhilarating to be part of that.” (De Groene Amsterdammer)

 

"Op een nieuwe compositie van Aart Strootman en met een meesterlijk lichtplan v"Set to a new composition by Aart Strootman and featuring a masterful lighting design by Jean Kalman, Arno Schuitemaker yet again demonstrates with After After that he is the king of transformation ."an Jean Kalman laat Arno Schuitemaker met After After opnieuw zien dat hij de koning van de verschuiving is."
