About the performance

30 birthday candles aren't that festive. You have only just survived the quarter-life crises when a new turning point in life awaits you: the BIG 30. In this acrobatic dance performance, MAMM delves into the stigma of turning 30: about giving up your youth, existential questions, the first gray hairs and big choices.

5 twenty-somethings are on the eve of the pivotal point of their lives and take you along in the final countdown to the big 30. The performers tumble, run, slide, lift and flip over the concrete floor. They struggle, celebrate life and take the audience along in their race against the clock.

 

Please note, this performance takes place at Skatepark

Collective MAMM consists of Maxime Abbenhues & Mees Meeuwsen. They make performances about, for and by people in their twenties, giving an insight into an often still misunderstood generation. In their work, MAMM balances (literally & figuratively) on the line between dance and acrobatics. They love risk, look for a smile in their work and hold up a critical mirror to themselves and their generation. They are currently supported by the FPK's New Makers scheme (2024-2026) with their partners Karavaan Festival and SHIFFT. MAMM won Mittelfest 2023, YAA Award 2024 and was nominated for the Next Step Award 2024.
