Op een onbewoond (6+) by MAN || CO
Op een onbewoond (6+) by MAN || CO is the winner of the Jonge Zwaan meest indrukwekkende jeugddansproductie 2024.
Jury about the nomination
‘’This inventively designed performance revolves around the discomfort involved in dealing with others and getting to know yourself. The wonderfully attuned performers switch from hilarious cartoon humour, through precisely timed movement theatre to dance impulses bubbling up deep from the body.‘’
About MAN || CO
MAN || CO creates theatrical dance performances with a poetic feel-good signature. Always physical, theatrical and energetic. The four-member Amsterdam-based collective is fascinated by what motivates people and how they relate to themselves, others and society. With man's absurd reality and motives as great inspirations, MAN || CO creates theatrical dance performances and context programmes that encourage reflection through humour and discomfort.
On stage, expressive characters move curiously through tactile landscapes. A touch absurd, always recognisable and with one foot in a fantasy world and one foot in reality. MAN || CO produces in-house alternately for youth and (young) adults and plays theatres, festivals and schools.
Come and see MAN || CO's On an Uninhabited or Heartcore Office! Or maybe you've seen them before with What a time to be alive, Boom goes the dynamite, EXTRA LIVE/LIFE, Hotel Rock Bottom, Rat Race Runway, The winner takes it all or When we cried confetti.
