UNDERDOGS

Saturday 8 October @ Theater Rotterdam

An underdog is someone no one expects to do well, the person nobody notices. Anne Nguyen’s fiery choreography exploring what it means to be invisible puts a surprising twist on what it does to someone to be branded an eternal loser. With three stellar dancers from her company Compagnie par Terre, it harnesses music and dance in a rebellion against the label of social outcast and offers a fresh take on the stereotype.
