At the Hartstochtfestival of Het Zuidelijk Toneel Nhelden will also create the public dans performance PASSIE (passion)

The festival is in 6 cities and the theme is passion and old people. For us and certainly as a part of the Bejaarden&Begeerte project, the dialogue between old and young is very important. And because nobody of the young people these days dances in pairs anymore we decided to make a performance where old and young would dance a foxtrot.

We wanted our performance to unite the six cities of Hartstocht so we came up with the idea of writing a letter with dancing people in each city creating the word PASSIE (passion).

So in each city of the festival, there will be a local band playing a foxtrot on one of the main squares. All the people will be put in pairs to dance within the outlines of a letter. At a certain point all the dancers will open their given red umbrellas and the small airplane that flies above the square will film the whole event.
