Rhino Dance Marathon
On July 10 and 11, Space for Dance Art opens its doors for an adventurous evening: the Rhino Dance Marathon. A dynamic journey through dance, image, text, sound, and memory – built on three decades of dance practice by Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten.
Location Space for Dance Art, Rijnlandlaan 3
Run time 20:30 - 1:30 - continuously accessible
Language Language no problem
The Rino Dance Marathon invites you to wander through seven spaces where past and present works intertwine, continuously accessible, with no start or end. Throughout the evening, thirty markers from EG | PC’s work will resurface – not as an overview, but as active traces: video fragments, worn costumes, meaningful objects, and texts that engage the body as a site of memory. Between these, short performances, exhibitions, installations, and interventions from new creators who resonate with the DNA of ICK will appear.
-|- And the Rhino? It travels with us. The Rhino is powerful and fragile at the same time. It embodies the body that moves forward, slow but steadfast, against the current. In the site-specific performance Addio alla Fine (Holland Festival 2012), a rhinoceros is featured in a rowing boat, drifting on the water – a reference to Fellini’s film E la Nave Va, where a cruise ship filled with cultural elites slowly sinks. Only the Rhino remains, transferred into a lifeboat, drifting towards an unknown future. Not as a remnant, but as an omen.
The Rhino Dance Marathon is not just a performance, it is a movement. Step into it.
