AWOL - Simon Bus | Alesya Dobshy

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 performance exposes the tension between individual and uniformity, between vulnerability and authority. What happens when you break away from a structure dominated by power and expectations? What if a perfectly trained body starts to falter?

Living painting powerfully redirects boys will be boys symbolism.

The media about AWOL
“Dobysh and Bus prove themselves once again as the strong professionals they are. Just like William Forsythe does with ballet, in AWOL they take the dance techniques they are masters out of their context (performers and makers come from the world of club and street styles). They bend it as desired to shine as an abstract 'language'.” (Theaterkrant)
