Club Guy & Roni Invites

Lees in het Nederlands

Club Guy & Roni is inviting dance makers they feel a connection with, to make new work as part of their mission to support and guide talented creators and expose them to a wider audience. Choreographers Mohamed Yusuf Boss and Lunatics & Poets (Anna Jacobs and Hanna van der Meer) will feature in this second edition. 

LABA – Mohamed Yusuf Boss
In ‘LABA’, dancer and choreographer Yusuf Boss explores the concept of ‘being home’ through the fundamentals of Hiphop and other styles including the African Pantsula and Jaandheer, and the Haka from the Maori. With the strong collective character of these different styles of dance, Yusuf Boss delves into the relationship between the individual and a country or home that doesn’t officially exist, like Somaliland.

What does a relationship like that do to a person? What do you identify with? In a society where individualization and polarisation keep growing, it’s easy to feel more and more displaced. And what echoes continuously when you can no longer go home?

Postcards from a better place – Lunatics and Poets
In ‘Postcards from a better place’ Lunatics and Poets illuminates the dark side of human nature. From an infantile game to overt violence, it is the inner darkness that confronts us with irreversible acts, shame and guilt. This performance is a poetic portrait of the shadow side that at the same time makes us human.
