Between pure poetry and physical strength

What drives a person to take immense risks to defy gravity? As in the myth of Icarus – who wanted to get as close to the sun as possible– you can burn your wings and crash. Rachid Ouramdane takes up the challenge nevertheless, pushing the boundaries of the vertical together with a group of acrobatic dancers, a highliner and a climber. Corps extrêmes is a dizzying experience that brings together endurance, strength, courage and the fragility of the human body.

Only 7 euros for young people (-26 years)

Soundcast, the youth group of the Concertgebouw, selected seven impressive performances that young people can attend for just 7 euros. This performance is one of those 7 must-see performances.
