In “Unearth,” Jefta van Dinther brings together ten dancers in a minimalist choreography for body and voice. In his characteristic interdisciplinary style, which reflects his extensive knowledge of human behavior and its associated ecosystems, van Dinther explores our urge to constantly feel anew. At its core is the human desire to relive the past and the longing to repeat experiences. “Unearth” reveals the body’s seemingly inexhaustible psychological and physical inventiveness. This immersive durational performance captivates the audience through the intensity of repetition and invites them to linger in introspective contemplation. “Unearth” explores the body as material and highlights belonging, meaning, and mortality as social and spiritual constructs.
Jefta van Dinther is a choreographer and dancer. His work is characterized by a rigorous physical approach and always implies a staged exploration of movement itself. The moving body is central to his practice, yet it belongs to and interacts with a body made of light, sound, and materials. Central to his work is the question of what it means to be human in relation to society, community, and the environment, but also in relation to other life forms. Jefta van Dinther's performances reach into metaphysical or otherworldly realms and engage with concepts such as illusion, visibility and invisibility, synesthesia, darkness, labor, sex, the uncanny, affect, voice, and image.
