SUPERNOVA is a location project originally created for the OVER HET IJ festival, in collaboration with Dansmakers Amsterdam, in 2012. Furthermore it has been readapted for the opening of the Museumnacht 2012 at the EYE Filmmuseum of Amsterdam. Both the events have been an enormous success and SUPERNOVA is now being adapted to be performed in different Museums besides different location projects in Holland and Europe. In 2013 it will tour in open air theatres and festivals in Italy.

SUPERNOVA takes inspiration by the star analogy (the creation and explosion of a Supernova) to guide an investigation on human relationship. The latter is not seen in terms of psychological relation but as the enlightenment of the energetic space created in between the performers  and as the fluidity of their individual identities. The focus of SUPERNOVA lies in trying to see the partner as a possibility of expansion of own sense of freedom and not as a limitation of it.

SUPERNOVA is an immersive performance, where the audience is guided through an emotional, visual and social journey, and in which one is invited to perceive the energies of the performers in various, impacting and yet sophisticated ways.
