joy enjoy joy trailer - WArd/waRD - Ann Van den Broek

In Joy Enjoy Joy choreographer Ann Van den Broek takes a different approach. Her dark and heavy side gets a lighter edge and lands in the melancholic regions of pleasant, but past memories. Joy Enjoy Joy follows the flow of life, down-to-earth and dynamic. It is a steady, driving and pulsating stream, moving constantly, never stopping. A stream that shimmers like reflecting light. A glamorous dream, restless and full of energy. Joy Enjoy Joy also blurs the lines between the various disciplines with WArd/waRD’s characteristic combination of movement, music, texts and video. Joy Enjoy Joy illustrates a transition: putting aside accusations and reproaches, regrets and untenable desires. Lust transforms into deep love, resistance into acceptance. On the road to solace and safety for a perennially restless soul. concept and choreography Ann Van den Broek   performers Frauke Mariën, Louis Combeaud, Nik Rajšek, Jean-Gabriel Maury, Marion Bosetti, Carla Guerra, Kamil Pilarski, Isaiah Selleslaghs interns Beatriz Baptista, Karolina Krynicka  music Nicolas Rombouts  prerecorded cocals Gregory Frateur  conversation fragments Tom Barman  video- and lighting design Bernie van Velzen  scenography Niek Kortekaas   styling costumes Ann Van den Broek in collaboration with Marielle Vos rehearsal director Pol Van den Broek, Gregory Frateur outside eye Marc Vanrunxt   Joy Enjoy Joy is a production of WArd/waRD in coproduction with permanent partners Theater Rotterdam (NL) and corso, Antwerp (BE).
