Tanz at NYU Skirball

Prepare to experience a contemporary masterpiece that defies conventions and reimagines the art of movement. Florentina Holzinger’s TANZ is a breathtaking fusion of classical ballet, raw physicality, and high-octane performance. Known for her fearless and unorthodox approach, Holzinger invites audiences into a realm where discipline meets chaos and elegance intertwines with power. Featuring an all-female cast of eleven performers ages thirty to over eighty from various dance backgrounds, and set against a backdrop of theatrical spectacle, TANZ delves deep into the limits of the human body, exploring themes of strength, vulnerability, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. This daring and unapologetic work is as much a celebration of dance as it is a challenge to its traditions. Expect the unexpected, as each moment brims with intensity, humor, and awe-inspiring energy.
