The fenomenon ‘remake’ has become a widely used strategy and interest in the world of arts: fine artists reflect on old masters, existing pop songs are recorded in new ways, repertoire theater acquires renewed interest due to contemporary enactments. In 2007 COVER initiated several meetings between the old and the new generation of choreographers in the Netherlands which resulted in four exciting remakes from the Dutch dance history. COVER #2 continues and offers a stage to traditions and new development from the international dance context. Besides performances, installations, lectures and after talks in Theater Frascati and De Brakke Grond, COVER #2 starts on Monday 22 March at 20.00 hours in the theater of the Theaterschool with the presentation of the performance project Roman Photo van Boris Charmatz, based on photo’s of the work of Merce Cunningham and made in collaboration with students of the Theaterschool of the Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunst.
