COME TOGETHER: Beauty, Bauhaus and the Beast

A festival of similarities and differences

The three Amsterdam-based choreographers and directors Nicole Beutler, Andrea Božić and Keren Levi have joined forces for the interdisciplinary festival COME TOGETHER: Beauty, Bauhaus and the Beast on 15, 16 and 17 May 2014. This will be the first time these nationally and internationally renowned directors present their work together. The three-day festival will be held in Amsterdam, at Frascati theatre and De Brakke Grond Flemish cultural centre.

COME TOGETHER: Beauty, Bauhaus and the Beast offers audiences a unique opportunity to experience multiple performances in a single context. In the space between the three performances – their similarities, shared fascinations and differences in approach – a fourth performance will come into being, a Zeitgeist performance that spectators will discover for themselves.

Besides performances of ‘Intergalactic (An Attempt to Overcome the Binary)’ by Andrea Božić, Robert Pravda and Julia Willms | Tilt, ‘The Dry Piece’ by Keren Levi, and ‘4: STILL LIFE’ by Nicole Beutler, the festival will also include conversations, the ‘A World’ installation, talks, a concert by the band No|me, and a party with DJ Alec Smart. Please check below, our websites and Frascati for the evening program.
