Conny Janssen Danst – NEXT#3

NEXT has been Conny Janssen Danst's most adventurous project since 2024. The new initiative offers an annual opportunity to a talented choreographer to create a compact production with the company's dancers. NEXT is a performance with urban energy that pops up in unexpected, diverse locations. After successful collaborations in 2024 and 2025, company Conny Janssen Danst is happy to return to the EUR campus in 2026. With five dancers, the company will perform the brand-new choreography ‘The Error of Being’ by Tú Hoàng.

In powerful, rhythmic movements, Vietnamese-Dutch choreographer and movement artist Tú Hoàng explores in The Error of Being what makes us human in an age of control, speed, and perfection. Five dancers move almost mechanically, until emotion inevitably breaks through. Tú’s hybrid dance language—in which Eastern philosophy, urban, and contemporary dance merge—is amplified in this location-based dance performance by an industrial, musical soundscape. The Error of Being reveals the beauty of wavering, doubt, and breaking: exactly where humanity becomes visible.

After the performance, we will talk to a few dancers about making a show, but also about the daily life of a dancer. The chance to finally ask how many hours a day they rehearse, whether you must eat before or after the performance and how, as a choreographer, you make the dancers move exactly as you envision.
