This season Beppie Blankert Dansconcerten produces the dance performance
Dubbelspoor. 12 performances have now been sold in The Hague, Amsterdam and
Maastricht. In addition, negotiations are underway with Spring Festival in
Utrecht for another 3-5 performances.
In addition, a workshop of 2-3 weeks will take place at the Dance Academy in
Amsterdam (AHK) following the performance Dubbelspoor.
Double track becomes a new performance based on an old concept.
The performance (concept and choreography Beppie Blankert, concept and
composition Louis Andriessen, 'texts for Nothing #7' by Samuel Beckett) was
created three times, for two women in 1986, two men in 2000 and a man and a
woman in 2010.
When Louis Andriessen received the Johan Wagenaar Prize in 2010, he was allowed
to put together a program on the occasion of the award ceremony. He chose, among
other things, Double Track. Andriessen passed away in 2021. This remake of
Dubbelspoor by the original cast is in honor of Louis Andriessen.
Double track
The central theme is 'waiting'. Waiting can be understood as the passage of
time, but also as the vacuum that precedes making a decision. Beckett has his
own language for that. In concrete terms, the waiting of a single person, a
woman, in the desolation of a platform for a train that thunders past and does
not stop, is the symbol for missed opportunities or passing up life choices or
actions. People on a platform are rarely in the 'here and now' but busy with
what lies ahead of them or what they have left behind and is in the past. It is
a kind of being on the high tide line between water and land. There on the
dividing line of possibilities there is drama and friction. Blankert is also in
this position. She has long since made her mark in the dance world. As an older
dancer, she wants to continue performing. This desire is great and inescapable,
but the forces are diminishing as to how to continue to reach the public.
