Tweetakt: Hush 14+

This time it is about the support you find with others, about attention for each other. The rhythm is determined by how dancers and musicians follow each other very precisely. From faster, energetic numbers to subdued (self-written) songs: ‘Carried by those hands I trust, I’m floating to those mountaintops’. If we share everything with each other, we can cope with the difficulties of life.

After the rousing dance concert Shake Shake Shake, which turned the venue upside down at Tweetakt in 2020, artistic directors Guy Corneille and Josephine van Rheenen wanted to continue with the same dancers and musicians. In Hush, they come together again in the border area between dance performance and pop concert. Corneille, who herself participates on stage: This time it’s all about sensitivity, really listening attentively to each other and finding comfort in that encounter. Because in order to be able to carry the world, it helps not to be alone.” Van Rheenen, who created the choreography together with the dancers and musicians: I had had enough of people who talk louder and louder because what they say seems more important. So I wanted to do an exercise in listening, nuance, softening with these players. To allow sensitivity on stage and from there to meet each other and see where that takes us.’
