Especially for the 20th anniversary edition of Holland Dance Festival, Gauthier Dance will set The Hague, Rotterdam and Tilburg ablaze with FireWorks: a dazzling performance where passion, creativity and top talent collide. 
 
Twelve leading choreographers join forces in an evening bursting with boundless expression and iconic dance moments. 

Programme

Part 1 – Ten New Dance Sparks 
The first part of FireWorks presents ten brand-new, short pieces – each inspired by carefully chosen music. Renowned names such as Mauro Bigonzetti, Virginie Brunelle, Stijn Celis, Dominique Dumais, Marco Goecke, Johan Inger, Barak Marshall, Benjamin Millepied and Sofia Nappi deliver a kaleidoscope of styles, moods and emotions. A vibrant fireworks display that’s never the same twice. 
 
Part 2 – Icons in a New Light 
This is followed by four gems from Gauthier Dance’s rich repertoire, brought back to life with surprising new accents. Experience, among others, Lickety-Split by Alejandro Cerrudo and ABC by Eric Gauthier – classics that shine anew in these fresh interpretations.

'An Explosion of Dance, Energy and irresistible life energy'

For the grand finale, Gauthier Dance and Gauthier Dance Juniors join forces in a breathtaking version of Ravel's Bolero. On trampolines! What begins with subtle rhythms and playful bouncing grows into an explosion of jumps, cries and pure joie de vivre. And when the confetti cannons go off, the energy bursts out of the auditorium – no one can stay seated.

Their boundless energy, joie de vivre and limitless passion for dance – always underpinned by impressive technical skills. Artistic director Eric Gauthier, a former dancer with the Stuttgart Ballet, has been connecting top talent and audience favourites like no other for seventeen years. The result is a company that sparkles, inspires and continues to surprise.

FireWorks is a feast for the eyes, ears and heart. To be seen in The Hague – a performance that you not only see, but feel in every fibre of your being.
