Foreshadow
STUK with 30CC
Eight acrobat dancers move like gears of a collective body mechanism to the tunes of experimental rock music. Together, they explore quasi-impossible balances, they challenge each other and defy gravity.
With the tightly orchestrated chaotic movement landscapes of Foreshadow, Alexander Vantournhout takes a new step in his research of the relationships between gravity, movement, balance and spatiality. In addition to the floor, which played a prominent role in SCREWS and Through the Grapevine, the wall now also becomes a dance partner.
"Remarkable how Vantournhout has mastered a new movement technique with every performance. There are few choreographers who have turned and expanded the ABC of dance in recent years as he has."
