GRIMM

Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and her seven dwarfs: they all pass by in GRIMM, a performance by ISH Dance Collective and the Junior Company of the Dutch National Ballet. This energetic and imaginative performance for young and old proves that hip-hop and ballet are a golden duo.

Fantasy World

Through a video game, two brothers find themselves in a fantasy world, where they meet various fairy-tale characters from the famous stories of the Brothers Grimm. In the game, they encounter an evil witch who is trying to seize power over four kingdoms. The witch can only succeed if she manages to pair four handsome princes with Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Rapunzel. Naturally, the brothers are more than happy to lend a hand to put a stop to her plans.

Stunning pirouettes and head spins.

Thanks to the video projections, anything seems possible in GRIMM: a lush spring forest transforms in the blink of an eye into an ominous witch’s forest. Within this setting, the dancers showcase where : dizzying pirouettes, impressive jumps, jerky popping-and-locking moves, and stunning head spins.

Collaboration

The revival GRIMM is one of three joint productions by Marco Gerris and Ernst Meisner, the artistic directors of the hip-hop dance collective ISH Dance Collective and the Junior Company of the Dutch National Ballet, respectively. The fact that their backgrounds are completely different is precisely their strength, according to them. Ernst Meisner: "By using a variety of dance styles, the possibilities only increase."
