‘Snowflakes, leaves, humans, plants, raindrops, stars and molecules all come in communities. The singular cannot really exist.\u2019<\/em> – Paula Gunn Allen in\u00a0Grandmothers of the Light: A Medicine Woman’s Sourcebook<\/em><\/p>\n

With any attempt will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones<\/em>, Jan Martens is for the first time fully turning his attention to the main stage. A production about the power that lies in being out of step, performed by a seventeen-strong, atypical corps de ballet made up of unique personalities.<\/p>\n

The heterogeneous group of dancers spans several generations, the youngest being 16 and the eldest 69, with significant differences between them in terms of track record and technical background. In any attempt will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones<\/em>, they seek their own voice within the dance and beyond, looking for an idiom that fits them like a glove. One by one they claim their place on stage, without cutting off the others for all that. A horizontal exercise in giving each other the necessary space, while being careful not to steal the limelight.<\/p>\n

any attempt will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones<\/em> is a rich performance that does not hesitate to seek out the ecstatic. In times of extreme polarization, this group sets social dogmas aside to recognize and embrace a range of distinct identities. Being uninhibitedly themselves – in both life and art – with the stage as their ideological testing ground. They are supported by a soundtrack that consists of atypical protest songs from different ages \u2013 from Henryk Gorecki via Max Roach & Abbey Lincoln to Kae Tempest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
