Each year, the dancers of NDT 1 and NDT 2 organize a unique programme: Switch. An evening composed entirely by the dancers themselves, of which all proceeds will go to a charity of their choice. The 2025 edition will take place on January 18.
View the NDT 2 programme Lucid Variations as video on demand in Digital Theatre.
Meet the man behind the groundbreaking choreographies
Marco Goecke has been creating work for NDT since 2008. Thanks to his distinct, idiosyncratic style, he is regarded as one of today’s most unique choreographic voices. In February, with In the Dutch Mountains, he presents his first full-length work for our company. A good time to dive deeper into his work.
For Close Up we got a chance to talk about her work as a dramaturge and to shed light on this essential role within the creative process.

The documentary Thin Skin made by Manon Lichtveld en Bas Westerhof in 2016 is an atmospheric and intimate portrait of the idiosyncratic German choreographer Marco Goecke. During a tour of Europe, visiting a number of important dance houses, the demons of the then 43-year-old Goecke become increasingly visible. They prove to be a heavy burden both mentally and physically, but at the same time they are also the driving force behind his unique and original dance language. “By transforming the fear demons into dance they dissolve they become visible and tangible and so they are transformed into beauty. That is the only reason why I create”, thus Goecke.
