In 2023, Patricia van Deutekom and four dancers from Conny Janssen Danst were on a quest for both masculinity and femininity, an inquiry into characteristics, behaviour and preferences attributed to the various genders. Unman liberates the dancers from the fixed pattern, freed from expectations, but longing for something to hold on to. A showdown in dance in a world where fraternity and distrust meet to explore one another.
'Exciting and intriguing statement' (Theaterkrant) in which 'van Deutekom finds the fragile balance between pushing and dancing, falling and catching, stroking and grabbing.' (De Volkskrant)
