REFLEX

In REFLEX we invite makers to reflect on the world and its society. For the series, Roelofs presented X Tempo, an interaction between musicians, dancers, speakers and audience. He welcomed dancers and choreographers Meg Stuart and Claire Vivianne Sobottke and drummer Jeff Ballard for an interactive and multidisciplinary spectacle.
