The Ruggeds

Breaking as organised chaos
After previous performances at Amare, including Jams & Gems: On Tour, The Ruggeds return to the theatre with Oddly Satisfying. The Eindhoven-based breaking collective is known for its spectacular style, musical timing and effortless way of turning virtuoso moves into theatre. In this new performance, your mind can take a little holiday: patterns repeat, movements click into place and the stage becomes a playground of rhythm, precision and joy. Oddly Satisfying is an ode to the moments that catch your attention and refuse to let go. To the ball that rolls just right, the movement that unexpectedly makes sense, the chaos that suddenly reveals a pattern. The Ruggeds play with the pull of repetition, timing and physical control. What starts as a simple movement grows into a trip that is absurd, funny and wonderfully precise.

The Ruggeds: breaking with a signature of their own
The Ruggeds are among the best-known breaking crews in the Netherlands. They have performed at festivals such as Lowlands, appeared on the American television show World of Dance and featured in Justin Bieber’s Where Are Ü Now video. But it is in the theatre that they show just how broad their language is: athletic, musical, dryly comic and full of imagination. Oddly Satisfying is breaking for anyone who loves movement that quiets the mind and keeps the eyes locked in.
