The Nederlands Dans Theater presents two choreographies at the Concert Hall

Two choreographies-portraits of the power of love to unite and mark even when it has been lost he presents in his new performances at the Athens Concert Hall (5-8 April, Alexandra Trianti Hall, at 20.00) the famous Nederlands Dans Theater.

In the framework of the stable cooperation with Megaros, which was inaugurated on 2008, the band from the Netherlands that has been indelibly stamped by its recently artistic director, Jirji Kilian, presents "lust" (Longing) and her "Butterfly" (butterfly), works signed by its two leading choreographers, Paul Lightfoot and Saul Leon. The works will be danced by the "big" team of NDT, the NDTI (the whole is divided into two groups, NDTI which is staffed by established dancers and NDT II which is made up of new emerging talents).

"Lust" begins with an impressive scenic find: a couple dances inside a cube which is suspended on stage, a surreal little space that constantly changes positions, with door and window in paradoxical places, which indicate the difficulty of escape. A soloist, on the level of the dark stage, he follows with his movements the difficult "dialogue" of the couple. The two dancers move around each other to the notes of Beethoven. Their movements indicate a relationship with anxieties and efforts. At some point the man finds a way out, he'll be back soon, but the cracks don't heal and it's the woman's turn to leave. The cube retreats to the back of the stage and the piece evolves into a spectacular ensemble performance.

"Butterfly" focuses on another kind of love and devotion: of elderly care, parents and loved ones, of the tenderness that returns with their impending death, of loss and the huge void that follows it.
