Charles Pas &

Rint Mennes

Grief is invisible, yet it resides in every body. With Requiem for a Young Soul, Charles Pas and Rint Mennes take you on an intense, physical, and sensory trip through what cannot be captured in words. 

Two dancers move between memory and reality, caught in loss, searching for each other. Accompanied by an atmospheric soundtrack of shoegaze and melancholic post-rock, a hallucinatory journey unfolds through pounding light, fading shadows, and dreamlike visions. Performers and audience alike are drawn into a space where past and present converge.

How do you keep a memory alive? Where do you find strength when the weight of loss presses on your shoulders?

Charles Pas (1998) is a performance artist with a distinctly physical signature. In an increasingly intangible society, he explores what remains essentially human. Charles brings the crisis of connection - between people and themselves, and between individuals and society - to the stage. He transforms this alienation into an urgent physical experience that compels us to move closer.

 “Pas brings immense dynamism and variety to an apparently simple movement. In doing so, he proves to be a remarkably confident theatre maker who fully engages his audience to interpret and feel for themselves.” – ★★★★ Volkskrant
 

Charles Pas also presents his new performance Pasifae Rodeo at nona this season.
