De Dansers (2026-Now)

Howling Road (2027)

On an almost empty stage, four dancers and two musicians return to the basics. To what remains when everything is stripped away: the body, the voice, and each other.

In Howling Road, they search together for a place to land. Duos whirl like a whirlwind within a single square metre, their feet striking out a rhythm that grows into a polyphonic song. Howling Road is a passionate act of resistance and an exercise in connection. A reminder of the richness and resilience that lies within the body itself. Through powerful partnering and choral singing, Howling Road paints a portrait of a group learning to trust themselves and one another.

For Howling Road, De Dansers collaborate with Amsterdam-based songwriter and singer Pitou Nicolaes, whose music is characterised by her enchanting, multi-coloured voice and idiosyncratic compositions.

The result is a hopeful echo for a world in which we may have less, but will need each other all the more.
