Urban Dansdagen | DOUBLE BILL: Stream of Unconsciousness & Brothers

STREAM OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS
Have you ever had a brief but profound moment of absolute clarity? Few years ago dance-comedian Cristian Boscheri experienced it. Since then, he has been obsessed to recapture that elusive experience.

The dance-comedian even turned scientist to develop a way to control human perception, where dance moves, quirky humor and mathematics collide to harvest precious insights from his audience.

BROTHERS
With the passionate company Threading Theatre, Justin de Jager, Sem Deliveyne, and Andreas Tegnander bring Brothers to life. At its core, Brothers showcases the brotherly collaborative bond between Justin de Jager and Sem Deliveyne. They literally met in a ‘threading cypher’ and were blown away by each other’s expertise within the concept. Brothers originated during the Here We Live And Now program at Korzo in The Hague. What started as a 20-minute version quickly grew into a larger project with Justin and Sem as the driving forces. The duo felt a deep calling to further develop Brothers into a full-length location performance.

JUSTIN DE JAGER
Justin de Jager is known for his expertise in the movement concept of threading. As a breaker, he discovered this complex movement language, which he has been using as the basis for his choreographic work since 2017. As a creator, Justin has choreographed for companies such as Scapino Ballet Rotterdam and Sally Dansgezelschap Maastricht and has collaborated with theater houses like DOX, Korzo, and Sample Culture. His talent was recognized with the Leo Spreksel Award in 2021. In 2023, Justin founded the collective Threading Theatre. Some of Justin’s notable works include Carried Alive, What Is Love, Through, Intertwine, And The Rest Is Noise in collaboration with Fractal Collective, and his most recent creation Brothers.

“Brothers doesn’t just feel like a piece to me but a potential life’s work in the making. The potential behind the work is endless” – Justin de Jager.
