Note! Unearth is a durational performance - a lasting work that lasts 3 hours and 40 minutes. When you buy your ticket, you choose between two entry points (16.00 or 17.45 on Saturday and 15.00 and 16.45 on Sunday). The work is continuous during this time and you choose how long you stay during the performance. It is also possible to go out and be let in again. During the last 30 minutes of the work, the audience is asked to remain in the room. Subject to final sale, tickets will also be available on the spot. Recommended from 13 years old.

Unearth is centred on our human drive to restore - and desire to relive - where the body's capabilities and incapacities drive the work through ritual repetition.

In this durational performance of almost 4 hours, van Dinther invites the audience to the intensity of repetition and the sweetness of introspection. The dancers turn themselves inside out and reveal deeply rooted ideas about kinship, the living and the dead. Using only movement and voice, in the raw and distinctive space of the art centre, van Dinther digs with Unearth in the body as material, creating a collective emotional experience.
