Arno Schuitemaker

Choreographer Arno Schuitemaker's hyper-physical performances always make an overwhelming impression and are praised for the inventive forms he creates with themes where the intimate meets the universal. In his latest performance After After, the performers break a lance for the power of the attempt. The stage is their playing space, their body is their instrument, their versatility is their key.        

Arno Schuitemaker found his inspiration in the question posed by the young Italian philosopher Federico Campagna: “How can we help the creation of new worlds out of the ruins of our own?” What happens when a world, say our own, has reached its climax? What can we allow to emerge after that? Is that the opportunity to build a new collective identity?

His contemporary work breaks down boundaries between dance, performance, visual art and club culture. It makes him one of the most intriguing creators of the moment.
