The CurrentIs part ofThe Human Odyssey, an ongoing artistic trajectory that explores how people create meaning and connection through collective physical experiences.

The performance brings the physical and cultural codes of club culture to the stage and approaches raving as embodied resistance and an expression of freedom. In an electronic environment, performers reconstruct a night in which pain, trauma and segregation remain on the dance floor, while moving towards liberation and a shared discharge.

Nite actor and singer Sarah Janneh interprets texts by the South African author Ronelda S. Kamfer. Live percussion and electronic music by producer Max Frimout and Stanislav Tolkachev together form an intense soundscape.

In an immersive installation by Boris Acket, the audience moves through a dynamic labyrinth of spaces where dancers, musicians and spectators come together. This creates an experience in which individuality and collective movement are constantly in tension with each other.

The titleThe Currentrefers to a current against which resistance is possible or in which it is carried along. An invisible field of tension that connects, while each position remains part of a larger whole.

The dance language is inspired by high-energy styles such as the '90s gabber scene: direct, rhythmic and relentless, with fast repetitive footwork. The jumpy, energetic movement vocabulary of K-pop is also explored from a contemporary artistic perspective.

  • DuringThe Currentstroboscopic light, smoke and loud noise are used.
  • Please note:The Currentis an immersive performance in which the audience stands throughout the performance and moves through the space.
