CCDF 24|The End-part 2

The End - part 2 takes you to extremes. With an intriguing mix of movement, electronic music, light, and video, the performance explores a world of shifting relationships. What do togetherness, connection, and solidarity mean at this moment? What brings us closer to each other? How can mutual transparency strengthen interaction?

The hyperphysical performances by choreographer Arno Schuitemaker always make an overwhelming impression and are praised for the inventive forms he creates with themes where the intimate and the universal meet. In an equally exciting and subtle way, The End - part 2 blurs the difference between seeing and being seen. The performance feels like a collection of short stories in which energy, stillness, sensitivity, distortion, and longing confront each other. The three performers expose different sides of themselves and, ultimately, lift physical boundaries—even in opposition, our individual spaces can be shared.

The End - part 2 is a production by SHARP/ArnoSchuitemaker in co-production with La Place de la Danse - CDCN Toulouse/Occitanie as part of the “accueil studio” programme, CCN de Caen and Normandie as part of the “accueil studio” programme, and Montpellier Danse as part of the residency programme at I'Agora Cité Internationale de la Danse. Supported by Performing Arts Fund NL, Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, Ammodo, and Fonds 21.

In his contemporary and radical performances, Arno Schuitemaker breaks the boundaries between dance, performance, visual art, and club culture. This makes him one of the most intriguing makers of the moment. A “must-see of the year”, as Scènes wrote about his previous performance 30 appearances out of darkness, the work premiered at the Holland Festival. The way you sound tonight won the Swan award for the most impressive dance production of the season. His performances have been seen on renowned stages in more than 30 countries.
