For the first time, Berlin-based choreographer and dancer Hea Min Jung and Amsterdam-based percussionist Sun-Mi Hong can be seen on stage in a joint collaboration. Together with trumpeter Alistair Payne and pianist Jozef Dumoulin, four artists come together to combine contemporary dance and jazz in an exciting performance with their improvisations in a sensitive way and at the highest artistic level.
In keeping with the motto "Language + Rhythm + Body", dancer Hea Min Jung also explores sounds that are produced directly on the body and relates them to the musical language of the three musicians. You can look forward to the multi-layered interplay between rhythm, body and musical language.
