T.r.a.s.h.

Weiter - 01

T.r.a.s.h. is known for its dynamic and uncompromising performances and an often violent motional language. Elegance and subtle movement go side by side with explosive dance.

Kristel van Issum (choreographer): “T.r.a.s.h. creates performances about the quest of a soul for a body. Individuals engaging into a body and disappearing, determining the sculpture and sound of a body. The simplicity, the abundance, the resolution of Nature is a source of parallels towards that uncomprehension and inevitability in a human life. An international cast responds to this subject with personal biographies.”

Along with composer Arthur van der Kuip and set designer Paul van Weert, Van Issum carries out an artistic concept that is based on the pulse of time, exposing human beings, their struggle and their fate with the use of images of decay, violence, isolation and alienation.

Disciplinary symbiosis is typical for T.r.a.s.h. The company focusses in three main directions, develloping a raw and vigorous motional language along with classically oriented music and a specific style of set design. This interlocking yields an alienating forceful form of dance theatre. Apparent opposites that on a closer look prove to be not that far apart at all are a recurrent motive. Absurdism, violence and popular culture.

T.r.a.s.h. is supported by NFPK+, Province of Noord-Brabant, City of Tilburg.
