Energy - Introdans

From the theatrical and playfulTagadàof Sofia Nappi and the cheerfully energeticFlabbergastfrom Gustavo Ramírez Sansano to two brand new pieces by Andonis Foniadakis and Aristide Rontini. A dynamic dance evening that completely recharges the audience. 

»This program shows energy as exuberant physical expression; exuberant and infectious, but also as inner and collective power, subdued and connecting”, says artistic director Roel Voorintholt

Sofia Nappi –Tagadà2023
After the loving and funny duet Kemet that Sofia Nappi made for theHubClub’23, Introdans collaborates again with this interesting choreographer. In 2021, Sofia Nappi received the Introdans Partner Award at the RIDCC. "That's where it started. Her work is very unique and theatrical, it communicates so well” says Roel Voorintholt. This season Introdans shows its successful group creationTagadà, to music by Daft Punk, among others. Nappi uses the Italian fairground attractiontagadàas a metaphor for life. Sometimes we just go round and round without having any control. We balance between uncertainty, fear, joy and euphoria. In that unpredictability of life, being connected to the people around you is a handhold.

Andonis Foniadakis -Pulsetic2026
Andonis Foniadakis' choreography Selon désir was one of the audience favourites from Introdans' Bach programme from 2023. Now Foniadakis is back with a new creation specially made for the Introdans ensemble. Extreme flexibility and exuberant energy are the fixed values in his work. Foniadakis puts the dancers fully in their power; lively and infectious.

Gustavo Ramírez Sansano –Flabbergast2002
The celebrated choreographer Gustavo Ramírez Sansano – known for his contemporary version ofCarmen– threw high eyes withFlabbergast. In this stunning choreography, Sansano embraces his Spanish roots. Artistic director Roel Voorintholt loves the lightness and the wink ofFlabbergast. Flabbergastis expressive and musical. The dancers take you into the atmosphere of the sixties and seventies and dance to the rhythm of Latin American music. They explore their desires, identity and, above all, each other.
