Unearth is a major work by internationally acclaimed and award-winning choreographer Jefta van Dinther, one of the most significant voices in contemporary dance today.

With ten dancers on stage, the performance unfolds as a raw and sensual ritual, where body and voice merge through intriguing movements of repetition and transformation.

Audiences are invited to experience a piece that reveals new layers as it unfolds – and which they are free to move in and out of along the way.

A rare opportunity to experience Jefta van Dinther on a large scale – live in Copenhagen – and in Dansehallerne’s large, and striking stage, Hallen.

In Unearth, Jefta van Dinther brings together ten dancers in a bold and stripped-down choreography of body and voice. In his characteristic cross-disciplinary style, which catalogues his extensive repertoire on human behaviour and its linked ecologies, van Dinther breaks down our impetus to feel anew — time and again.

Centered around our human drive to revive and yearning to relive, Unearth lays bare the body’s boundless mental and physical resourcefulness.

In this durational work, the audience is summoned into the intensity of repetition and to linger in the sweetness of introspection. Unearth digs into the body as material, whilst exposing both social and spiritual constructs of kinship, purpose and mortality.

Tickets are available with entry times at 16:30, 17:30, or 18:30. You are free to decide how long you wish to stay and experience Unearth. From your chosen arrival time, you are welcome to remain until the performance concludes at 20:10. Throughout the performance, you may come and go as you wish.

NB: Children are welcome to attend the performance if you, as their accompanying adult, feel that the child can engage with the experience in a way that is meaningful to the child and considerate of others in the audience. As the work requires silence and calmness, 
we recommend it for children aged 10 and above.
