Conny Janssen Danst opens their 35th anniversary year with BEHIND THE WALL. Conny Janssen’ large-scale new dance-production raises topical questions about identity, belonging and loss. Together with live music by the cutting-edge artist Roufaida, in BEHIND THE WALL a compelling journey emerges on what it means to feel at home somewhere – and what happens when this home changes or disappears.
BEHIND THE WALL, builds on the universe Conny Janssen created in her earlier production HOME (2017/2021), in which the question of where and with whom we feel at home is pivotal.
Conny Janssen Danst’ diverse and adventurous dance ensemble evokes this quest with an intensity that moves and confronts. With her typical choreographic signature – a powerful mixture of raw energy and tranquil poetry – Conny Janssen creates a universe in which personal narratives and universal issues intertwine.
Live music: Roufaida
The live music by Dutch-Moroccan artist Roufaida is the beating heart of the performance. Her layered sound, uniting North-African influences, alternative pop and poetic lyrics, deepens the subject matter and enhances the emotional strength of the dance.
