Madness takes its toll, and that is precisely the vision for the contemporary dance piece Veronika Decides.... Inspired by a book from Paulo Coelho.

This performance plunges the audience into a realm where time, identity, and reality blur in a kaleidoscopic dance of the bizarre and the beautiful.

Imagine strange characters stepping out from the shadows, dressed in audacious, gender-fluid attire reminiscent of mid-20th-century glamour, but with a bold, modern twist. These figures defy convention and embrace the extraordinary. Veronika, the protagonist, is not just one person but a multitude, embodying both the fluidity of gender and the fluidity of time itself.

As the dance unfolds, Veronika is caught in a perpetual time warp, a dimension where past, present, and future collide in a dazzling display of movement and emotion. The choreography oscillates between frenetic energy and haunting stillness, each step and gesture telling a story of inner turmoil and transcendence, reflecting Veronika’s journey through the surreal landscape of her own mind.

In this world, the boundaries between sanity and insanity are not just blurred but obliterated, creating a space where the eccentric and the uncanny reign supreme. The dancers revel in their otherness, inviting the audience to join them in celebrating the strange and the sublime.

Veronika Decides... is a daring exploration of identity and existence, where every movement is infused with the wild, rebellious spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. It is a tribute to the timeless appeal of embracing one’s true self, no matter how unconventional, and pushes the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of dance and performance.

Prepare to be mesmerised as this performance takes you on a journey through a world where time twists and turns, where gender is fluid, and where madness and brilliance coexist in a breathtaking dance of life.
