DISAPPEARANCE is an ode to disappearance followed by a new appearance as the phoenix will be reborn from the ashes.

DISAPPEARANCE is the second part of the diptych APPEARANCE - DISAPPEARANCE.
The performance continues where APPEARANCE left off. The empty space left behind is filled with ether in which 13 bodies, music, projections, light, the voice of a radio presenter and children's voices appear and disappear. In this liquid society, bodies look for a voice and voices look for a body. The body is no longer what it used to be. Identities are exchanged. The collective journey through time goes through a colour palette. A start in the dark and then via blue, red and yellow until white is reached. In all open-mindedness and hope. From a simple black to a complex white hole.
The first part (2017) was a collaboration with composer and musician Franck Krawczyk who made an adaptation of Gustav Mahler's Kindertotenlieder for piano and a twelve-piece children's choir. In the second movement the dance sets the tone. DISPAPPEARANCE is an ode to the disappearance that is followed by a new appearance like the phoenix will be reborn from the ashes.
Appearance and disappearance are intertwined. When something or someone appears, it will disappear again, and when something or someone disappears, something new will appear, perhaps in a different form or form. Identities are fluid and change with each disappearance. The end unlocks infinity.

Greco and Scholten worked with the dancers on the power and vulnerability of intuition, naivety, urgency and open-mindedness. These values, which are disappearing more and more in our contemporary society, are embraced by dance. What if they too disappear, what remains? The dancers struggle to anchor their existence, so temporary and in vain as it may be.
The projections by filmmaker Ruben van Leer, which continued the collaboration after APPEARANCE, create a mystical shadowy realm in which the presence of that which has disappeared becomes palpable: a bygone movement, a (un)graspable memory, a helping hand.
On the air, the dancers confront the sound palette of sound artist Salvador Breed, who cuts adapted pop songs by David Bowie, Björk, Radiohead and others with the radio and children's voices and electronic music. Both parts APPEARANCE and DISAPPEARANCE can be played together or separately.
