After winning the world's biggest dance award, Sarah Baltzinger & Isaiah Wilson and Olivia Court Mesa are now making two world premieres at Scapino. Both dance pieces can be seen in one program with a connecting dance film curated by Cinedans filmfes;val around the same theme.

In the piece "GOATS" by French/Luxembourgian duo Sarah Baltzinger & Isaiah Wilson, the main character is immersed in a hallucinatory world full of paranoia and delusion. Looking through an absurd lens, the viewer is invited to join the dancers in finding a way between reality and illusion. GOATS is an imaginative satire on contemporary times and the psychology of the masses.

In "The breakable us," Chilean-Israeli Olivia Court Mesa explores the physical and psychological response to tragedy and chaos. She reflects on collective trauma, survival and the path from darkness to color. With her raw and intuitive style, she makes a poignant statement of human resilience and hope.

Dance Award RIDCC
Both Baltzinger/Wilson and Court Mesa received the XL Production Award, the world's largest dance prize awarded by Rotterdam International Duet Choreography Competition (RIDCC) and produced by Scapino. As a partner of the first hour of this unique choreography competition, Scapino is a springboard for choreographic talent worldwide.
