Dans & ballet

No Dutch Required

In AWOL three dancers search for what it means to live in a society of strict rules and fixed norms. Three men, trapped in a system. Military discipline, sharp suits, camaraderie and competition.

The show lays bare the tension between the individual and uniformity, between vulnerability and authority. What happens when you break free of a structure dominated by power and expectation? What if a perfectly trained body begins to falter?

A living painting that powerfully subverts boys-will-be-boys symbolism.

What the media say about AWOL
“Dobysh and Bus once again prove themselves the skilled craftsmen they are. Just as William Forsythe does with ballet, in AWOL they take the dance techniques they have mastered out of their context (the performers and makers come from the world of club and street styles). They bend them to their will, letting them shine as an abstract ‘language’.” (Theaterkrant)
