‘Promise me tears conventions to shreds, individuals to pieces, taboos into strips and neat dance steps into fragments. They dare’
**** Focus Knack

A relentlessly physical and fiery show in the sign of bravado, guts but also vitality and revolt. 
A celebration of the untamed, the reckless, the brave - in times when most people want to insure themselves, preferably against everything.
A flirt with danger, an ode to unbridled curiosity.

promise me is about letting go of control and taking risks. 
About embracing the explosive forces inherent in life.
About scars and the stories they leave on our skin. 

However battered we come out of the battle, it’s worthwhile to do something you’ve never done before and never dared to do. 

Again, Thomas Devos will be in charge of the live music. Thomas has worked with kabinet k before for raw (2013) and horses (2016). He challenges the dancers to leave their fear behind and throw themselves into the arena with pure lust for life.
