The Ruggeds

The Eindhoven Breakdance collective The Ruggeds is back in the theatres. In Decypher four dancers, each in their own chapter, decipher the meaning behind a number. Where the group usually takes the stage in large numbers, in their fourth theatre production they opt for a more intimate setting.

Run time 90 minutes, incl. intermission

Decypher


Jessy 'Jazzy Gypz' Kemper, Niek Traa, Roy Overdijk and Virgil 'Skychief' Dey give free rein to their creativity, choose their own path and seek meaning in something apparently minimal.

-|-
Due to the diverse interests, the four crew members each have their own way of telling. Thus the deciphered numbers take on different forms in style, rhythm, emotion and intensity. The result: four separate chapters connected by video, bundled into an evening-long performance.
