Accessibility: Audiodescription and tactile introduction on 27 October
On Sunday 27 October there will be a follow-up discussion with Café Révolution.
Something is hatching: In «HATCHED ENSEMBLE», ten ballet dancers, an opera singer and a multi-instrumentalist come together to reflect on identity and belonging, gender binarism, tradition and artistic expression. Together, they juxtapose musical movement material from Western classical dance with African dance styles and vocals. Thereby extending a warm-hearted invitation to audiences to come and reflect on their own assumptions. An ensemble choreography that resonates with anyone who has ever questioned where they belong.
