L.A.V.A. - ICK Dans Amsterdam

Dans & ballet

No Dutch Required

Two powerful choreographic universes come together between North and South: the impulse-driven, physical language of Greco & Scholten and the rhythmic, collective energy of Zappalà. This leads to a charged encounter in which difference generates movement.

What follows is an intensely physical and sonic journey through a landscape of tension, friction and underground current. On one shared playing field, new movement arises from different styles: raw, layered and unpredictable. Like lava itself – bubbling beneath the surface, ready to erupt, and at the same time slow and powerful.

Bodies approach each other, collide, and break open again. Intensity does not come from harmony, but from friction. Can we tolerate difference and ultimately see it as a fertile, new field?

Salvador Breed's soundscape forms its own strength in the performance: a pulsating sonic landscape of electronic textures and rhythms. Deep resonance propels the dance, disrupting it and putting it under constant tension.

L.A.V.A.shows how intense life force comes from difference. Not by harmony, but by friction. Not by distance, but by proximity. The audience is in the midst of this physical and sonorous outburst.
