Play

Jumping rope, making up dance moves in front of the mirror, building your own world out of Lego or blocks. In chaos of the present, Play brings you back to the child within. This performance explores imagination as refuge, as necessity, as a way to gain control over what is larger than ourselves.
About the danceperformance Play
With Play, choreographer Ann Van den Broek dusts off her Barbies. She examines play as a vital need, as a way to escape from—or confront—what feels off. Play is not a nostalgic longing for a lost childhood, but a sharp, physical quest exploring the tension between imagination and reality. Playing as resistance, as comfort, as an expression of the unspeakable.
The performance is raw, poetic, and direct. Through dance, performance, live video, a gritty score, and an intense physical language, the performers constantly move between inner and outer worlds. They build, climb, fall and play—where fantasy and reality touch and collide.
Play is an ode to imagination and an invitation to dare to play again.
