'Uchronia' one of the 5 best Dance Performances of 2021'

NRC - Dutch Newspaper
Slide title

"Hats off to the Dutch Vincent Riebeek as his own female alter ego. She allows herself to be penetrated by her 'best friend' Nica Roses, urinates on stage, and many more unacceptable things happen, but Riebeek turns it into poetry by casually crawling through Big Questions about art and gender as a blond-wigged oracle. With bodily fluids as lubricants."

about 'Don't Clap for Crap' in Trouw (Dutch Newspaper)
Slide title

"Riebeek has moved away from the spectacular without becoming any less radical. With 'Don't Clap for Crap,' he proves that he has found his identity."

'Reflections of Empowerment' explores the multifaceted lives of sex workers. It begins with a tribute to the late Sabrina Houston, a trans woman killed while working, and delves into the legislative and political climates impacting sex workers. The work celebrates the holy whore archetype, body positivity, and the empowering, creative aspects of sex work.

concept & dramaturgie: Vincent Riebeek with: Nica Rosés

supported by: Live Long Burning (AT) co-production: Veem House for Performance (NL), Arsenic

Project Info Video Tech rider

'Don't Clap for Crap' is a revival of Kein Applaus für Scheisse, cult classic, first performed by Florentina Holzinger* and Vincent Riebeek in 2010, now with Nica Rosès. This new interpretation grapples with notions of trust, sisterhood and love between the duo, and also between the duo and the audience, as an invitation to share a way of being in the world that perhaps only the theatre allows us to experience.

'Uchronia' explores the origins of dance and humanity by reimagining creation stories. Using collages and tableaux vivants, the performers invite the audience to envision new possibilities. The piece starts with the origin of the world, questioning: what if God were a trans woman? Would our movements change with a different understanding of our origins?

This leads to a journey through human evolution, free from normative rules. Uchronia, meaning "no time" and related to utopia, aims to forge a desired future. It is also a call for radical self-love, urging everyone to own their body.
