Nederlandse Dansdagen 2014

It isn’t a coincidence that the 17th Nederlandse Dansdagen starts with DOX’s I Have a Dream. The performance has questions for us: What do you dream of? What do you want to realize? Shape? Make? 

The performances and projects at this year’s festival each provide their own answer. The choreographers share their dreams, their perceptions, their worries and their vision. Each with his or her own definition of beauty and of dance. The results are works that complement, traverse and interrogate our own dreams. Therefore we are very pleased to share this unique collection of productions with you.
