NUMBER 52

A unique solo-performance between dance and stand-up comedy.


With wit, self-irony and precise movement, NUMBER 52 looks at the often absurd aspects of the dance world: auditions, project work, idealised demands and the constant balancing act between adaptation and authenticity.


The performer takes the audience on a humorous journey through her experiences as a contemporary dancer.

Inspired by stand-up comedy, the stage space becomes a narrative space: full of movement, reflection and surprising twists and turns.


But despite all the humour, NUMBER 52 is also a piece about resilience: about the strength to keep reinventing yourself, to keep going and not to lose the joy of movement.

A tribute to the versatility and resilience of dancers - and to dance itself.
