Offspring

Premiered in 2009 at Lucent Dans Theater in The Hague, NL by Nederlands Dans Theatre 2

When thinking of a idea of this dance piece, Lukas Timulak couldn't stop thinking about the fact that the premiere coincided perfectly with the due date of his baby to be. Quite naturally, the upcoming birth of his child became a strong source of inspiration of the new creation. Furthermore, Peter Biľak, who helped with visual aspects of the piece, had become a father just a few months earlier. Offspring captures this unique life experience in the form of a dance performance. It is a highly personal piece, which should still work without knowledge of Lukas’
situation.
