FLIP: When movement becomes a common language
A body twirls through space, an object tips into the unknown, a moment of solitude transforms into a surprising togetherness: Monica Muñoz's dance performance FLIP brings a poetic world full of rhythm, playful joy, and beautiful chaos to the stage on November 18, 2026, at tanzhaus nrw in Düsseldorf.
Between breakdance and contemporary dance
FLIP follows two figures on their journey from solitude to community. In a virtuoso connection of breakdance and contemporary dance, magical formations emerge from everyday objects. The choreography by Mónica Muñoz develops into a physical narrative about differences, proximity, and the power of shared play.
A staging full of rhythm and surprise
Spinning, rolling, jumping, crashing, and tumbling: the language of movement in FLIP remains constantly in flux. The set design and costume consulting by Sabine Dargent, the lighting design by Sebastian Pizarro, and the sound design by Denis Clohessy create a sensual theatrical atmosphere in which every impulse opens up a new direction.
A stage experience for the whole family
The approximately 30-minute dance performance is aimed at a young audience from the age of three and also invites adults who wish to engage in an immediate stage experience. Humor and dramaturgical precision combine with an accessible perspective on diversity and connection. The result is an energetic performance art that does not explain but moves.
German premiere at the take-off Festival
FLIP is part of the take-off Festival as a German premiere and is presented in the Small Hall of tanzhaus nrw. The production was created with the support of the Arts Council of Ireland and Meitheal; the Germany tour is supported by Culture Ireland. The performance is funded as part of take-off: Young Dance Düsseldorf.
Conclusion: Dance that makes differences shine
The audience can expect a short, intensive, and visually memorable performance with acrobatic movement, fine humor, and a clear message: community arises where people understand their differences as opportunities. Those who want to experience contemporary dance as a lively, open, and surprising stage art will find in FLIP a strong reason to attend the theater together.
