Program:
Tussenadem en stilte by Marlie Salomé
HerStillness, Her Storm by Judith Coulmans

Tussen adem en stilte
Choreography: Marlie Salomé
Performed by: Marlie Salomé and Sannevan Noort

‘Tussenadem en stilte’ is a duet that exposes the complex relationship between twofriends, a representation of friendship in its most beautiful and its mostdifficult form. Thoughts clash, expectations diverge, and loyalty is tested,yet togetherness ultimately prevails. The dancers reveal a layered and humanprocess where friction and connection coexist closely. Vulnerability withinrelationships exposes both tension and intimacy. Is touch a means ofcommunication, and can we understand one another without words? Or does trueconnection demand more? Sanne and Marlie seek, repel, attract, doubt, confront,and reconcile, two friends who influence each other’s space and move as one.Where breath makes you feel, and silence makes you listen.

Her Stillness, HerStorm
Choreography and performance: Judith Coulmans

HerStillness, Her Storm is a solo that comes from a very real desire to sharevulnerability. I will be creating the work on myself, coming from a desire tostrip myself down to the realest version of me, and my intention to share moreof myself with the audience. I work with themes of vulnerability, realness,intimacy, being human, being woman. It is important to me for the audience torecognize their own reality of being human within my work.
