A pure Conny Janssen on identity, connection and loss, with live music by Roufaida

BEHIND THE WALL, Conny Janssen's new dance performance, raises topical questions about identity, connection and loss. With live music by the groundbreaking artist Roufaida, a compelling journey unfolds about what it means to be at home somewhere. And what happens when that home changes or disappears.

The universe of Conny Janssen Danst

BEHIND THE WALL builds on the question of what makes us feel connected. Conny Janssen Danst's diverse and adventurous ensemble of dancers brings this quest to life with an intensity that both moves and confronts. With her signature choreographic signature, Conny Janssen creates a universe where personal and universal questions touch; a powerful mix of raw energy and hushed poetry.

The live music by Dutch-Moroccan artist Roufaida is the beating heart of the performance. Her layered sound, merging North African influences, alternative pop and poetic lyrics, deepens the themes and enhances the emotional power of the dance.
