In 2011 Ann Van den Broek created Q61, a very personal dance piece. During the process of creating Q61 she already felt the desire to adapt the piece so it could be performed in cemeteries.

In Q61 Cemetery Ann Van den Broek create a twilight zone, an area between heaven and earth. As if a door is opened and memories come flooding out. Taboos and emotions are acknowledged in a loving embrace. With the cemetery as backdrop, Q61 Cemetery slowly leads to a long, soft cry in an infinitely desolate, yet hopeful piece.
