Ingenious footwork to live percussion

With Nimble, Alexander Vantournhout presents his largest creation to date. Nine dancers explore the power of physical group rhythm and together form a contemporary corps de ballet. With a focus on the lower body, born out of Vantournhout’s fascination with the footwork of boxers, Nimble shines a spotlight on what ordinarily escapes our attention. The dance sweeps the audience along in a collective, physical pulse, amplified by live percussion.
