Four duets, each with a dancer and a musician, improvising freely. Almost all of them will perform with one another for the very first time. This could well be the start of wonderful new collaborations. And a compelling experience for the audience. Together with Bimhuis we have linked up these renowned performers. They have all developed their own unique musical and physical language.
