Performance clip of nosotros by Wubkje Kuindersma | Dutch National Ballet

Wubkje Kuindersma’s ‘nosotros’ danced by our Junior Company.

nosotros. This title was not quite the first one that Wubkje Kuindersma came up with for her new ballet, but it was very close. “What I really like about this Spanish word is that it seems to be a contraction of we (nos) and the others (otros).” The piece, set to several compositions that are all linked to Bach, is about the strong mutual bonds between a group of people. It is about we and the other, and how the two are ultimately interchangeable, but also about the different sides contained in each individual. In the work, Kuindersma uses shadows and echoes, which can represent the other, but also a part of ourselves, and she consciously plays with gender equality.
