Armand van den Hamer: Toeval

2006

A dancepiece for 4 dancers with epilepsy about their life experiences.
Premiered at Huis a/d Werf in Utrecht. Touring Arnhem Zwolle and Capelle a/d IJssel.

In de theatrale dansvoorstelling “Toeval” staat de mens, soms overvallen door epilepsie, centraal. De dansers nemen u mee naar een wereld waarin de beleving van alledaagse momenten een extra dimensie krijgt. Een bijna surrealistisch portret dat de ene keer grappig en de andere keer ontroerend uitvalt.

Choreografie en video: Armand van den Hamer
Dans: Erwin Bruijn, Annette van Bracht, Elsbeth van Niekerk, Johannes Miedema
Productie: Elsbeth van Niekerk / Epilepsie Vereniging Nederland
