“Before we all get to the knowing, all will be gone” – Benjamin Clementine
In GONE - Inspired by Benjamin Clementine, this idea is at the centre. A world in which everything moves faster than we can grasp, and where connection becomes increasingly difficult to hold onto.
When everything is moving too fast to feel anything

Associate choreographer Marcos Morau presents his first full evening work for NDT 1. In this world premiere, contemporary dance and physical theatre merge into a surreal, layered performance inspired by the life and music of Benjamin Clementine.
The piece begins from a sense of acceleration and overstimulation. What happens when we lose the space to feel without distraction? In a world that is constantly in motion, something essential risks slipping away: attention, meaning and closeness. In collaboration with the dancers of NDT 1, a landscape emerges in which every musical moment opens a new space. The world accelerates, falls apart and observes itself. Themes such as loneliness, loss and connection become visible through the collective of dancers, shared rather than individual.
At its core, GONE - Inspired by Benjamin Clementine is a search for closeness. A plea for connection, imagined as a shared ritual in which hope persists that we can still reach one another as long as we are in the same space.
