DANCÆ by Chlär @ Bajes Amsterdam
Following six sold-out performances in Berlin, DANCÆ makes its ADE debut with two limited-capacity performances on ADE Friday. Six dancers move through Chlär's soundtrack, with light and space shaping the choreography inside Amsterdam's former prison.
Kianí Del Valle x EINDER by Boris Acket @ Centrale Markthal
Choreographer and dancer Kianí del Valle presents two performances created specifically for Boris Acket's EINDER installation on ADE Friday and Saturday.
