Queens & The VOID

About the dance performance Queens & The VOID

Queens by Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten sets the tone with a physical and musical disruption. Iconic musical works such as Under Pressure, The Sound of Silence, Wuthering Heights and the Queen of the Night aria from Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte become forces that put the body under pressure. Dancers move between control and eruption, while virtuosity raises questions about perfection and control.

This is followed by new work by Sedrig Verwoert, The VOID for ICK-Next (ICK’s junior company). Verwoert approaches choreography as both research and ceremony, at the intersection of dance and visual art. With the dancers forming a single collective body, patterns emerge that slowly unfold and shift. The energy is intense and clear: a choreography that touches on ritual, togetherness and trance.

This performance is part of the Dubbeldans series. The series is available for purchase via the Stadsschouwburg website.
