Future voices: Lucinda Wessels & Timo Tembuyser

Program

Fluid Figures is a physical and layered performance in which dance, sound and performance merge into a hybrid whole. From a queer, bicultural perspective, Lucinda Wessels embarks on an inner search for identity. The dancers embody different roles and perspectives and create a dynamic in which contrast and connection are simultaneously palpable. Fluid Figures challenges the audience to let go of fixed boundaries and to experience contradictions as part of one whole.

Isle of Eros is an erotic concert about ‘the desire for unity’, where the desire to merge with the other clashes with the desire to be a strongly defined individual. After several performances in which the singing community is central (Mementum, Missa Homo Sacer, Mystica, NOW WE ARE EARTH), Timo Tembuyser now presents himself as a soloist. A quirky Master of Ceremonies takes us into a post-porn pop concert. An ode to the wild man, to queerness, to sexuality and to love.

About the makers

Lucinda Wessels (1990) is a versatile artist who constantly renews herself and explores boundaries within the dance and art world. Her practice moves at the intersection of disciplines and identities, always looking for the in-between space. In addition to her performances with Het Nationale Ballet, ISH and Nicole Beutler Projects, she previously created the performances I & Then (ICK Amsterdam) and SLEEEP DREEEAM WAKEEE (Oerol, Over t IJ, Nineties).

Timo Tembuyser (1991) is a singer, performer, composer and theatre maker. He combines his backgrounds in architecture, theatre, music and community work and often works with diverse ensembles. Music and space are always central. Timo composes polyphonic scores that weave the different voices together equally, in harmony and friction with each other, in resonance with the audience and with the space.
