This creation is inspired by the Russian night bombing regiment Taman during World War II, which consisted of women only – from female pilots to technicians. Using light gliders, they successfully bombed the German defense lines.

In NachtHexen I: Jeanne, powerful dance, emotional play and dance performance blend into a lasting whole. Pure, energetic and sensitive, seeking the most direct way into the heart of the audience, as one has come to expect from Jens van Daele’s Burning Bridges.
