desolate, post-industrial north-west England
And Now I Know What Love Is
The former Bijlmer prison is the setting for the work of the British choreographer, musician and performer Blackhaine, who is praised for his “brutal, disorienting and at the same time tender performances”. This dance performance “breathes the desolate, post-industrial atmosphere of north-west England, where Blackhaine grew up,” according to the festival announcement. In his soundscapes, “drill, post-punk, ambient and experimental hip-hop” merge, a combination that you also “physically experience”.
June 5 and 6, Prison. Info
