Simple Things
Nederlands Dans Theater
The Hague, Netherlands
Choreographer: Hans van Manen
Hans van Manen created the dynamic quartet 'Simple Things' in 2001 for the young dancers of NDT 2. It is a wondrous, seemingly natural creation for two pairs. The ballet opens and closes with a powerful duet for two men, where one watches while the other dances. In this ballet Van Manen reveals himself as a master of simplicity.
