STORM
LeineRoebana creates diverse, internationally acclaimed performances. With stars from classical music or a gamelan ensemble. With metal or with vocalists. Always with special results. Some performances are theatrical, playful or fiery, others emphasise pure dance, while others are impressive structures of disciplines. For the duo, dance is a physical way of thinking, in order to relate to the world around them.

For STORM, LeineRoebana works together with Composer Laureate Calliope Tsoupaki.
Tsoupaki has undeniable roots in Greece, including ancient Greece. In her work, from large orchestral works and operas to intimate pieces for solo instruments, the sound of the past is the driving force that guides her both energetic and melancholic compositions.
STORM is a unique collaboration between a composer who dares to think in terms of movement and choreographers who shape the sound.
Calliope on her desire to work with the choreographer duo:
“I would like to collaborate with dance and specifically with LeineRoebana to bring about a fusion of dance and music. By seeking and creating unexpected connections together. By using dance and music contrapuntally: You see the rhythm, but you don't hear it. I expect that I can take a new step here with LeineRoebana”.
STORM is a quest by Calliope Tsoupaki, Andrea Leine and Harijono Roebana and their dancers, clarinettist David Kweksilber and lute player and vocalist David Mackor, which begins with the purity of the sound and the sincerity of the movement and broadens into a veritable storm of experiences.

Special, personal audience reception
Prior to the performance, LeineRoebana invites its audience to meet the dancers, musicians and choreographers for a special introduction to the stage: half an hour before curtain-up, the doors of the auditorium open for a much-loved audience reception! Special experiences during the creative process and sources of inspiration are shared, and there is an opportunity for the audience to ask the choreographers questions while the dancers and musicians warm up and prepare for the performance.
The performance starts after the audience reception.
