Figures in Extinction

A co-production between Nederlands Dans Theater and Complicité.

We are living in the age of disconnection. Can we ever hope to give a name to what we are losing? What does it mean to bear witness to a violence in which we are both perpetrators and victims?

A cross-continent collaboration between Simon McBurney and choreographer, Crystal Pite. For the past four years, they have weaved their hopes and fears for our current moment into this urgent dance trilogy. 

We would like to express our gratitude to the performers of NDT for their essential creative contributions to this work. We’ve been profoundly moved by their insights and ingenuity, their tireless commitment and trust. These incredible dancers are the lifeblood of our creation. They have given us much joy and a deep desire to keep excavating, uncovering, discovering and imagining what is possible.” Simon McBurney & Crystal Pite
