Hurry slowly, but hurry



Worldpremiere 9 July 2021
Duration 30 min.

Cast: Ada Daniele, Terencio Douw
Credits: Lunatics and Poets (concept, choreography, set) 

Hurry slowly, but hurry is Lunatics and Poets’ bittersweet dance-episode about the inevitable end and our fascination with death as a dark attraction. As a ‘performance tourist’ we travel to the site of an accident, two people balance at the end of their existence. Alternating between light and darkness, life delays and flashes by.
The starting point finds its roots in the unique landscapes of the island of Terschelling and the NDSM Werf in Amsterdam, drawing inspiration from societies’ relationship with mortality.
