Tom Weinberger and the NDT 2 dancers created a new work, specially created for locations outside the traditional theater set-up. Projects like these offer us as a company new perspectives and creative discoveries. In September 2021, the premiere of Tom Weinberger’s work for NDT 2 will become reality in the Grote Kerk in Veere.
