Ignite

Everything is energy, says hiphop dancer and choreographer Shailesh Bahoran [1983]. In the choreography Ignite he is revisiting his fascination with ignition – from matches to the electric impulses triggering each of our 640 muscles. Last year it was a celebrated performance, presented in one of the Boulevard tents, now it has been developed into a theatre show with four dancers.

Shailesh has worked with companies as wide-ranging as The Dutch National Ballet and Don’t Hit Mama. These days he is working with the Amsterdam dance collective ISH. His great originality guarantees a strong burst of energy. Ignite is a spark inside a warehouse packed with gunpowder.
