From straight lines to dancing bodies in De Materie

Fri, Aug 28, 2026

Piet Mondrian sought order, rhythm and abstraction. But he also loved to dance. In the third part of *De Materie*, Louis Andriessen captures that unexpected energy: his music surges forward on boogie-woogie, jazz and rhythmic patterns, without ever losing its sharp form. Choreographers Antonio de Rosa and Mattia Russo (Kor’sia) create a world in motion. An interplay of lines, bodies, space and groove.
