Originally created to entertain the upper class, clowns found clever ways to express uncomfortable truths and mock society – using the stage as their defence. Just like clowns did for queens and kings in eras past, Shechter holds up a mirror to his audience, revealing the truth of life in the guise of entertainment. With this reprise, we once again get to experience the energetic intensity of a choreography revolving around both darkness and light, as opposing but inextricably connected forces of life. Supported by Shechter's own hypnotic soundtrack, Clowns finds the perfect balance between order and chaos.

The work was inspired by the medical phenomenon of the same name, a rare and unusual condition in which one foetus takes over the womb at the expense of its twin, until it disappears completely. It is a poetic symbol for the darker side we all share, which we don't accept and would rather not reveal to others. Imagining all that could have been had the vanished twin survived, Kylián's choreography aptly illustrates temporariness, suppressed emotions and our efforts to leave a mark on the world.

His dance productions combine wondrous imaginary worlds full of unexpected images, influenced by popular culture and supported by a keen eye for design and ear for music. The work examines and celebrates life – even when it is not easy to digest. It lets us experience the rich, percussive language of movement Zelner has developed and honed, and offers glimpses into the creation of a new dance style that invites audiences into a daring and delightful world full of wonder.

In this work centred around ritual, an evocative story is told about community and its customs and traditions. To move forward together, we play a game of cooperation and connection, in which we spin, sing and dance to achieve our common desires. A pulsating visual and auditory landscape, Folkå takes us on a journey of human sounds, chants, and skin drums, where our feet make the ground move. It presents a ritual for our time, where looking to the past reminds us of our place in the endless cycle of life and we celebrate mankind's relationship to nature.

It finds its roots in observing the simplicity of shared moments — the unspoken understanding between friends, the unnoticed nods of solidarity among strangers, and the quiet resilience threaded through collective struggles. The choreographer draws from the unadorned fabric of human experience, intending to reveal the beauty within the unremarkable. An ode to invisible forces, it testifies that the most profound connections often go unnoticed, yet intricately shape the tapestry of our lives.

A new voice for NDT, the Greek-born choreographer favours a minimalist and precise language of movement. Through small gestures that belie an intense physicality, Papadopoulos has created an ode to the power of invisible forces and transports the audience to a mysterious space in which there is neither beginning nor end.
