PROGRAMME

Through the roots (2024, 15 min) — Maria Ponomariova & Daria Titova A short dance film directed by Maria Ponomariova, with choreography and performance by Daria Titova. An ode to Daria's grandfather and the rural Russian landscape he cherished — translated into movement, embodying family heritage and the qu iet strength of the places that shape us.

THE VOID (2026, 7 min) — Linde Wagemakers An autobiographical dance film navigatin g loneliness, emotional isolation, and the search for connection. Moving t hrough abandoned spaces that mirror her inner emptiness, protagonist Luna searches for something to fill the void she carries within herself. Tracin g a fragile journey from inner emptiness toward self-connection and accept ance, The Void becomes a portrait not only of a person, but of an experien ce.

OH MY (2026, 4 min) — Linde Wagemakers A group of dancers spreads through the streets of Amsterdam, transforming the cit y into their playground. What begins as a playful disruption grows into an infectious, collective movement in which bodies find, challenge, and stre ngthen one another. In a flirtatious interplay between chaos and connectio n, a living protest emerges. Oh My is a celebration of freedom, presence, and the power of coming together.

SOLUS REX (2024, 7 min) — Marta Lillioja Solus Rex — the "Lonely King" — awakens as the la st man on Earth, where the key to immortality lies in ancient rituals of b ecoming one with the Snake. Drawing on myths of transformation that live d eep in human memory, the film guides us into the boundless subconscious — a journey into raw spirit, where movement and sonic texture merge into a m editation on instinct, identity, and transcendence.

The evening con cludes with an informal gathering and conversation moderated by Jake Zuidv een.
