April 30th Onze Lieve Vrouwe Church Breda 15.00 and 16.00 free entrance
May 12th Shopping mall De Barones 19.00 and 19.45 free entrance

Ahead of the festival, De Stilte dances 1-2tjes on public locations throughout Breda.

1-2tjes are dance duets on location, performed on a mobile floor of 3,50 x 3,50 metres. Sitting around the dance floor, the audience witnesses from up close the confrontation that unfolds between two dancers. In a short time frame of ten minutes, the audience is introduced to dance.  

Duets are selected from guest choreographies from o.a. Jack Timmermans, Bruno Caverna (Brazil), Keren Levi (Israel), Ives Thuwis (Belgium) and Gertien Bergstra & Femke Somerwil (the Netherlands). 


Bicycle tour 3x3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3x3 stands for three performances, created by three dancers/choreographers and three musicians/composers, executed on a surface of 3x3 meters. Limited by a number of parameters - one dancers, one musicians, a dance floor of 3x3 meter - young talents in dance and music were challenged to create a short performance of 3x3 minutes. Both dance and music are executed live. 

On Saturday the 14th of May the audience is taken on a bicycle tour to remarkable heritage sites in Breda where they witness the world première of these three performances.

Tickets can be bought at the tourist office Breda: online via www.VVVbreda.nl or at their office, Willemstraat 17 in Breda.
