From July 2-13, Julidans Amsterdam puts the spotlight on international contemporary dance. Choreographers from home and abroad present work in various theaters, on the streets and in the park, with Internationaal Theater Amsterdam as the beating festival heart. Julidans is the festival that inspires both connoisseurs and curious minds. The program is full of unique dance makers - from established icons to provocateurs, from legends to groundbreakers.

-|- We live in a time of profound transformation, these are uncertain times in which many feel vulnerable. We wonder about the future and how we relate to a new reality. In the search for meaning and footing, the connecting role of art is needed more than ever. Dance enables us to feel and think along with someone else. It is an art form that transcends boundaries and connects us. Using the creative body as a common instrument, dance can express the essence of being human, bring us together and offer comfort. In a search for inner strength, dance offers a way out, a way to come to ourselves. The conclusion? Never stop dancing.
