Live Hans van Manen (performance clip) – Dutch National Ballet

Of the more than 125 ballets Hans van Manen has created so far, Live is without doubt the most legendary.

Van Manen created Live in 1979 for a female dancer, a cameraman and, at the end, also a male dancer. An iconic ballet that, through the use of live video footage, almost seems to have been created for this time. Unique in this work by Hans van Manen is the use of live camera footage of a live performance. How does the camera direct your gaze? And what do you see? All the possibilities of the camera are explored.

Last season, Live was performed live in our theatre! Were you there?

Dancer: Maia Makhateli
Camera on stage: Mathieu Gremillet
