Nicole Beutler Collection
Nicole Beutler Collection is a four-day overview and anniversary festival around the work of theatre maker and choreographer Nicole Beutler. From 15 to 18 November, Internationaal Theater Amsterdam and Theater Frascati present highlights from ten years of Nicole Beutler Projects. Discover the cross-border performances of this unsurpassed 'visual artist in the theatre'.
For the first time, the big-stage Bauhaus trilogy 5: ECHO (i.c.w. ICK), 6: THE SQUARE and 7: TRIPLE MOON will be performed back to back. Also on the programme are the established Beutler classics 1: SONGS and 3: THE GARDEN. And a newly-premiered remake of the exact position of things (2005) will run throughout the NBcollection week.
The performances in the collection are the calling cards of Nicole and her regular team: composer Gary Shepherd, lighting artist Minna Tiikkainen, costume designer Jessica Helbach and dancers Marjolein Vogels, Hillary Blake Firestone and Christian Guerematchi.
The Bauhaus Trilogy
Circle, square and triangle: abstract shapes that were important to the Bauhaus art school at the beginning of the 20th century. Director and choreographer Nicole Beutler took these abstract forms as the starting point for three performances: 5: ECHO (the circle), 6: THE SQUARE (the square) and 7: TRIPLE MOON (the triangle). These dance pieces invite us to reflect on the norms and values of society and on how we organize our lives. A ritual about time, an encounter with populism and an invitation to new feminism. The geometric shapes provide Nicole Beutler with a framework that emphasizes extremes and encourages the viewer to think.

Time for a book
10 years Nicole Beutler Projects. Time for a book!
Nicole Beutler Projects is celebrating its tenth anniversary. We think it’s high time for a book to look back on a decade of performing art pieces and offer an insight into the working process of director and choreographer Nicole Beutler. An art book in which the performances can live on, and a reference work for theatre lovers. To produce the book in the best way possible, we urgently need your help to cover the printing costs. We’d be extremely grateful for your support! Donate or pre-order on Voordekunst.
