To kick off the new season, Stage One gives the NDT audience an insight into the more risk-taking choreographers in the field today. It presents two world premieres and Thin Skin by NDT’s associate choreographer Marco Goecke, which was labelled “Original, dynamic and astoundingly innate” by newspaper de Volkskrant when it premiered in 2015.
Ranging from the feverishly quick and pulsating movements of Thin Skin to the haunting dreamscapes of Medhi Walerksi and the compelling club-scene inspired works by Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar, Stage One offers an evening full of surprising and innovative choreography and dance. Here, NDT proves once again that the company stands for creativity at the highest level.
