LES AMANTS VOILÉS - THE LONGLONGNEVERENDING - MASCULINE / FEMININE

In The LongLongNeverEnding, performer and choreographer Emilie Leriche takes a close look at time. Moments that seem endless, the never-ending times in between - in the underground, for example, each person for themselves or facing many strangers in a confined space. What happens in the process? Encounters, fleeting observations, and when the imagination takes leaps, bursts the space and expands the

moment, experienced time drifts into another dimension, then things get exciting.

For the duet Les Amants Voilés, head choreographer Francesco Nappa was inspired by René Magritte's painting ‘The Lovers’. The intertwining of bodies in their duality between love and separation, between illusion and reality form the emotional fields of tension. The interaction between the tangible and fantastical worlds is reflected in the impossibility of finding each other in a kiss - an emotionally surreal encounter full of passion.

In Masculine / Feminine, created in 2011 for the Nederlands Dans Theater, internationally renowned choreographer Lukas Timulak explores one of the still fascinating mysteries in our everyday lives - the differences between men and women - as an inescapable fact and the basis of our biology and behaviour. The dance piece, consisting of two parts, picks up on many

facts as well as humorous aphoristic generalisations that are often so strikingly true that they seem ‘terribly’ familiar. In the sense of: ‘caught’. Experience a choreography of great sensuality with a twinkle in the eye.
