In 2014, Jan Martens made waves on the international scene with THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER. In 2025, the choreographer brings this piece back to life with a new generation of dancers.
In THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER 2.0, exhaustion becomes a shared experience, questioning the line between art and entertainment. Through relentless, repetitive choreography, dancers seek perfection, until small imperfections break the rhythm, revealing raw humanity. Martens invites audiences to reconsider their gaze, blurring the boundaries between performance, vulnerability and connection.
