Anima Obscura - Scapino Ballet

In her first production for Scapino as artistic director, Nanine Linning explores the desire for immortality: from the occult practices of alchemists to experiments by biohackers.

The dancers are protagonists in the search for the one elixir that makes us invulnerable and enables us to escape our earthly limitations.

Anima Obscura is a sumptuous total work of art in which choreography, video performance, animation, holograms, costume design and live music merge. The digital technologies challenge the expressive possibilities of dance and together create an innovative, sensual theatre experience.

The performance features Johannes Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem, mixed with Yannis Kyriakides' Ein Schemen - a contemporary 're-composition' for choir, harp and electronics. The music is performed live by the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Laurens Symfonisch (choir) and harpist Remy van Kesteren.

Anima Obscura can be seen exclusively in the new Luxor Theater as part of O. Festival for Opera. Music. Theatre.
