JV2 2022

16 talented, young international dancers from Jasmin Vardimon Company’s JV2 programme will premiere works by long-standing Jasmin Vardimon Company associates Mafalda Deville and Sabrina Gargano. The triple bill will culminate with Tomorrow, first created in 2013. As one of JV2’s signature works – choreographed by multi-award-winning, Jasmin Vardimon, Tomorrow celebrates favourite moments from Park, Justitia, 7734 and Yesterday, and has been transformed into a vibrant and powerful explosion of exceptional talent especially for JV2.

Can you hear me now? by Mafalda Deville
In a world where democracy, activism and freedom of speech have become increasingly important and at the same time more at risk, the stage should not be a place where one must remain passive and silent. The stage has the potential and duty to become a kind of ‘rehearsal space’ for democracy; a place where it is encouraged not only to observe, but to be critical, active, and responsible for what is happening. Can you hear me now? is a co-creation with the performers.

Marathon by Sabrina Gargano & Rafa Jagat (Elelei Company)
Camus says that even during the hardest struggles in life, there is enough to fill a heart. Marathon explores the inner strength that everyone has that allows them to move forward. A piece where different characters find themselves weighed down, repeatedly trying to free themselves and continue their path in life.
