THE NEW PIECE

Premiered September 2019 / Parktheater Eindhoven

INFORMATION

For over two years United Cowboys has developed so-called biotopes under the title Concept for new Development.
These artificial site-specific environments, in which dancers and musicians were embedded, questioned the conventional structure and duration of performance from within. The audience had the ability to observe this world from all angles in its own pace, being guided in its apparent freedom by the performers.

The biotope usually lasted up to eight hours per occasion and has been presented in over seven countries in Europe.

IN 2019 UNITED COWBOYS RETURNED TO THE THEATRE STAGE WITH THIS BRAND NEW PRODUCTION.

In The New Piece United Cowboys takes along their findings about (cultural) identity, about individuality and about generosity into a performance for and by four dancers.
Maarten van der Put and Pauline Roelants have both established their artistic signatures through their intrinsic expertise to channel the individual performer’s power and vulnerability. By merging four dancers with backgrounds in resp. Ballet, Urban, Modern Dance, Performative Physicality, United Cowboys is able to extracts the best out of this unique composition.

In The New Piece Maarten and Pauline will be present on stage as intermediary between dancers and audience. With live camera projections and inciting live soundscapes, they create parallel worlds, in which the exclusiveness of the individual dancer – his/her duende - is being augmented in a world of details and senses.
