For the first time in many years, the Codarts Symphony Orchestra returns to perform together with the Codarts Dance Company in their annual Martha Graham project. Once every four years, students of the Codarts Symphony Orchestra have the opportunity to collaborate with a dance production and learn from this form of collaboration, something they may also encounter in their future careers when accompanying dance productions or ballets. Please note: only on 20 April will the dance production be performed live with accompaniment by the Codarts Symphony Orchestra. Find more information and tickets on the website of Theater Zuidplein .

PINK HORIZONS -between collapse and care- In this contemporary circus performance, Bauhaus serves as both inspiration and point of departure. Pink Horizons explores how creation can emerge from crisis, and how colour and form function as powerful statements rather than mere decoration. Through collective structures and moments of playful disruption, a dynamic composition unfolds in which destruction and care continuously alternate. The performance does not ask what the future will be, but how we choose to shape it. Director: Cox Ahlers For tickets and more information, visit the Circusstad Festival website.
