fABULEUS / Reut Shemesh

Ultra

STUK with 30CC

It is harder to be a man today, and in many ways, that’s a good thing.”
(Christine Emba)

In this dance production, ten youngsters let their 'male' energy flow freely: explosive and vulnerable. On the thin line between festivity and rebellion. ULTRA poses questions on the role of the man in our changing times, but above all it's a portrait of a group of teens in a world full of expectations and labels.

In recent years, Choreographer Reut Shemesh has been house artist at K3/Hamburg and tanzhaus nrw Düsseldorf, a theatre where fABULEUS performs regularly. For the creation of ULTRA Reut found inspiration in the dynamics of fanatic football supporters and her personal questions as the mother of a growing son.
