After only a short run of performances during COVID-19, Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) is looking forward to re-presenting A Forsythe Evening, which revives NDT's long-standing relationship with choreographer William Forsythe. Forsythe revolutionized the dance world and is known worldwide for his dynamic approach to the art form. His interest in choreographic structures forms the basis of Forsythe's extensive oeuvre: "I keep trying to understand how the term choreography can manifest itself in any circumstance." The works are accompanied by music from Forsythe's regular composer Thom Willems.

In this new performance by Alida Dors, let yourself be transported through dance, film, music and 'spoken word' to Ganzee, a submerged village in Lake Brokopondo in Suriname.

In Closed Eyes, Alida takes you on a journey across all barriers of space and time, to imagine a hopeful vision for the future together.

Let yourself be transported to a future in which the theater has been overgrown by nature. In the moist, vibrating depths, nature has taken its place and the wild promise of a reality that is still unimaginable is gradually taking shape.

Hybrid creatures emerge in the moonlight. In this immersive visual performance, we are shown the way to a new balance. In ATMEN, Beutler goes in search of a new balance between man, animal, plant, fungus and technology.

In this time when the tension between change and preservation is more palpable than ever, Arno Schuitemaker focuses on the future with The End - part 2.

We all know the feeling of being a loser. In Losers, choreographer Jelena Kostić explores the different guises of 'loserhood': shame, (self)pity, sadness, and the need to put our worse moments into perspective and transform them. Using humor as a weapon, Jelena brings universal human behavior to the stage. Jelena Kostić is also known for her dance films. As part of the evening, her latest dance film will also be screened, and it delves deeper into the absurd situations we can experience when we allow ourselves to be judged by others, for example in an audition or job application.
