In our ongoing Reply Project concept, the Dance On Ensemble invites contemporary artists to respond to iconic dance works in their own artistic language. In these performances, the artists reflected on classical but radical works that challenged the rules of their time. This creates a vibrant dialogue between dance heritage and contemporary dance creation, as well as between artists of different generations and backgrounds.

In this Reply the Dance On Ensemble will perform a selection of works by acclaimed choreographer Noa Eshkol (1924–2007). Rediscovering her dance constructions and taking a deep dive into the movement notation she developed. French dancer and choreographer Noé Soulier whose work explores choreography and dance in different settings, including the stage, the museum space and theoretical reflection, will create a work in reaction to Noa Eshkol.
