Impetuous dance journey through a body of work

Mette Ingvartsen, resident artist at VIERNULVIER, has been collaborating with dancer Manon Santkin for 20 years. Especially for her, Ingvartsen wrote the solo 'RUSH,' a tribute to their long, intense collaboration and to performance itself.

Manon Santkin presents a retelling of previous performances she created with Ingvartsen. In a tumultuous 'rush,' highlights are brought back to life, and new forms emerge. Within the framework of a larger body of work, Santkin tells her own story, and her body undergoes a chameleon-like transformation. A tidal wave of energy emerges, with the joy of performing radiating from it.

"The creations I have made with Mette Ingvartsen all have something very concrete, anchored in the here and now, but there is also a strong thread of fiction running through them. It's always as much about what we do as about what we imagine while performing. It's like creating a continuum between fiction, imagination, and reality." — Manon Santkin

"A journey not only about memories of past performances but mainly about physical imagination" — Pzazz
