Club Guy & Roni Invites.. Lunatics and Poets.

Back in the Netherlands, they <\/span>expanded their horizons <\/span>w<\/span>ith a master<\/span>\u2019<\/span>s in critical fashion practices <\/span>at <\/span>ArtEZ<\/span> and a <\/span>course in fashion design at <\/span>Academie Artemis <\/span>in Amsterdam. Since 2017, they have <\/span>worked <\/span>together under the name <\/span>L<\/span>unatics and <\/span>P<\/span>oets.<\/span> Their <\/span>oeuvre <\/span>consists of crossovers combining <\/span>movement, materiality, <\/span>and image. Apart from theatre, <\/span>they also make short films and installations.<\/span> The<\/span>ir<\/span> production <\/span>for Club Invites, <\/span><\/span>P<\/span>ostcards from a better place<\/span><\/span><\/em>, explores the darker side of life.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tell us about your way of working together. What makes you strong as a duo?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>We both want to express the zeitgeist and are fascinated by how people relate to it. Our work seeks to bring viewers into a world that\u2019s both recognizable and alienating, and we\u2019re looking for vulnerabilities that most of us suppress in our daily lives. We choreograph theatrical images on themes such as angst, alienation, identity, love, transience, and human powerlessness.<\/span><\/p>\n

How did you come into contact with Club Guy & Roni?<\/span><\/b>
\nWe entered the 2018 Rotterdam International Duet Choreography Competition with a piece called <\/span>I am a poem, there is no way out.<\/span><\/i> We won Club Guy & Roni\u2019s production prize, which involved doing two weeks\u2019 research with their junior company, the Poetic Disasters Club<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, during lockdown, we made <\/span>The people look like flowers at last<\/span><\/i> for the digital NITE Hotel<\/a>. Our interdisciplinary approach is a good fit with the Club\u2019s, and it\u2019s great to work in such a professional organization. It\u2019s like a warm bath! We\u2019re used to always doing everything ourselves, from production to marketing, but now we\u2019re not under pressure from all these obligations and can concentrate wholly on the artistic process.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking for vulnerabilities that most of us suppress in our daily lives.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Postcards from a better<\/span><\/i><\/b> place<\/span><\/i><\/b> is about the dark side of life. Where does this fascination come from, and how do you give form to something so abstract?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>Everyone has dark thoughts and emotions. Our inner darkness is a large part of who we are, but we don\u2019t often talk about it: it\u2019s always a bit hidden, in the shadows. We examine the darker side of life both on an intimate individual level, and a world level. Where do dark thoughts and emotions come from, and under what circumstances do they surface?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The set refers to rooms in which emotionally charged moments occur in an almost filmic way, and in which the inner and outer worlds begin darkly overlapping. We need light to do a performance about darkness. Light and dark can\u2019t exist without each other: no dark without light, and vice versa.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have much contact with the other maker, Mohamed Yusuf Boss?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>Sure! It\u2019s actually a really special project. Our performances differ in terms of form and content, but there\u2019s also a lot of overlap. For example, we work with the same cast of five great dancers: Tanya, Tatiana, William, Ada, and Lin. They\u2019re all ex-PDC people, except Lin, who\u2019s from Norway.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We also share the crew: we have the same composer, lighting artist, and set designer. We alternate rehearsals, sometimes one week, sometimes two on one piece, on the same floor. We\u2019re always in contact during the changes: we discuss progress, and see bits of each other\u2019s processes. We hope to turn this into an interesting diptych.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19877,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"domain":[],"class_list":["post-20132","targetgroup","type-targetgroup","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPostcards: the interview - Nite<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/nite.nl\/en\/?targetgroup=invites-postcards\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Postcards: the interview\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Club Guy & Roni Invites..
