Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) | [Hans van Manen's piece 'Simple Things’ for the NDT 2 programme ‘Settle for More’. www.ndt.nl/tickets/settle-for-more Subscribe now to stay up-to-date with NDT!
Maestro Hans van Manen created this dynamic quartet in 2001 for the young dancers of NDT 2. It is a wondrous, seemingly natural creation for two pairs. The ballet opens and closes with a powerful duet for two men, where one watches while the other dances. In between they dance several pas-de-deux with two women, expressing in movement the relationships between two people. In this ballet Van Manen reveals himself as a master of simplicity.
