Pushing Waves

How can a person, isolated from the outside world, rediscover who they are? In Pushing Waves, choreographer Jasper van Luijk explores the realm of isolation and imagination. Completely left to himself, a man drifts into his deepest thoughts. With unwavering determination, he clings to memories as the world around him slowly crumbles. What do you hold onto when everything is silent?

Solo dancer Niek Wagenaar directly influences the musical composition created live by sound artist Tom van Wee with his movements and body. A sigh transforms into a cool breeze, a scream becomes radio static, and a bouncing beat evolves into a stomping footstep. In Pushing Waves, the body speaks, even when deafening silence prevails.

“Het organische samenvloeien van licht, geluid en muziek en beweging creëert een fysieke stream of consciousness, waarin ook je besef van tijd fluctueert. - Theaterkrant “
