Negen
In NEGEN by LeineRoebana, nine dancers search for a new order in a world where chaos is palpably present. With a DJ on stage, a layered composition of movement, sound and light emerges, in which patterns appear and disappear again.

Between chaos and order
Never has the transition from order to chaos felt so relevant. In NEGEN, that chaos is physically palpable. Before a new order can emerge, chaos first reigns supreme. The number nine symbolises both disruption and wholeness: transformation, but also tension.-|-
In nine scenes, a DJ creates a layered soundscape and shifting lightscapes live. Nine dancers move as a single organism, driven by rhythm and repetition. Movement patterns appear and disappear again, like unstable balances.
What do we leave behind, what disappears with the chaos?

Audience welcome: 30 minutes prior
Before the performance, LeineRoebana invites its audience to meet the dancers, musicians and choreographers for a special introduction on stage: half an hour before the performance, the doors open for the audience welcome, which has become very popular with the public! Special experiences during the creative process and sources of inspiration are shared, and there is an opportunity to ask questions whilst the dancers and musicians warm up and prepare for the performance. The performance begins immediately after the audience reception.
