Petrushka, against the image
This is a Dubbeldans performance, which we organise with our partner STUK. If a show is sold out, don't forget to check website STUK, because they might have tickets left.
Petrushka, the iconic 1911 ballet by Igor Stravinsky, tells the haunting tale of a puppet who is brought to life, only to experience love, jealousy, and ultimately death at the hands of another doll.
In a radical reinterpretation, choreographer Michiel Vandevelde breathes new life into Petrushka. This time, Petrushka is a rebellious figure. The choreography, composed of AI-generated dance movements, is gradually pushed to its extremes. What remains of humanity when social interaction has been fully digitised? Only a puppet can show us.
Vandevelde’s glitch- and pop-infused movements and physically demanding choreography results in a hypnotic yet confronting experience.
