(Sur)render is an interdisciplinary performance combining dance, video, poetry, spoken word and live music, exploring our disrupted relationship with each other and with nature. The piece was created by Alida Dors; choreographer, theatre maker and artistic director of Theater Rotterdam. Reflecting on her inspiration for (Sur)render, Dors explains:

‍

"I wish we were more aware of how much we need each other. That we can achieve far more standing side by side than when we stand against each other. We have drifted away from our natural rhythm and our connection to nature. My hope is that we can rediscover each other within that rhythm. Movement, dance, is a metaphor for standing together."

(Sur)render will premiere in February 2025, followed by a tour across the Netherlands.
